Mother Tongue：Flavours of a Second Generation

''''Born in Britain to Indian parents, Gurd felt constantly pulled by the clashing expectations of both cultures. But through his passion for food and cooking he was able to embrace the delicious contradictions of his plural British Indian identity. In Mother Tongue he explores his culinary upbringing that combined ''authentic'' home cooked Punjabi food, with ''inauthentic'' curry house Tikka Masalas, the Western foodie cannon, and a wanderlust for travel in pursuit of flavour.

Gurdeep serves up over 100 knock-out recipes, including a mouth-watering Miso-Masala Fried Chicken Sando, Sweet Chilli Gunpowder Roasted Cauliflower, Desi Kofta Meatballs with Sticky Mango Lime Tomatoes and Chocolate-Orange Jalebis, all combined with expert know how on building, blending, and remixing global flavour combinations. Mother Tongue is bursting with vibrantly spiced, colourfully flavour-forward recipes for home-cooks to explore and be inspired by every day''''--
