Bollywood Kitchen with Sri Rao

NorthwestPrime

NWP welcomes SRI RAO! Sri is a writer-director-producer in New York City. He is uniquely positioned at the intersection of Hollywood & Bollywood, as one of the few Americans to have worked in the mainstream Indian film industry. Sri is an established TV screenwriter, having sold pilots to numerous networks including ABC, NBC, Fox, The CW, Bravo, BBC America, and Nickelodeon. Indian cuisine and Indian cinema (known as Bollywood) share much in common – bold colors and flavors with plenty of drama. The popularity of Indian food has grown immensely in recent years – and for good reason. It's perfectly suited for people who love bold flavors, as well as those looking for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free meals that don’t skimp on taste. But as Sri points out in Bollywood Kitchen – you’ve probably never tasted real Indian food. Home-cooked Indian-American food is surprisingly simple to make, using ingredients readily available in your local grocery store. In this book you’ll find dinner menus and brunch menus, menus for kids and menus for cocktail parties. Along with each healthy and easy-to-prepare meal, Sri has paired one of his favorite Bollywood movies. Every one of these films is a musical, packed with dazzling song-and-dance numbers that are the hallmark of Bollywood, beloved by millions of fans all over the world. Sri will introduce each film to you, explaining why you’ll love it, and letting you in on some juicy morsels from behind the scenes. Bollywood Kitchen is as much a beautiful coffee table book as it is a cookbook, filled with gorgeous film photographs and colorful tablescapes. It’s a unique treasure for Indian food lovers, as well as fans of world cinema. http://www.NewYorkSri.com
