Overview

From the 1960s to the 1990s, Ira Ghosh lived in different countries due to her husband's international job postings, where she participated in international clubs and formed close friendships with people from different nationalities and cultures. Due to her life-long interest in the culinary arts, she collected recipes from around the world from friends, which she simplified, refined and tested on friends and family (receiving enthusiastic responses and encouragement). She realized this user-friendly collection would interest similarly aspiring cooks who want to make good, interesting food from around the world with minimum effort. The result is ""A Collection of Indo-Global Recipes"". This 676-recipe four-volume set is organized for easy exploration for different occasions, with most dishes achieved by a few quick and easy steps. She wrote these books for enthusiastic, curious cooks/foodies of Indian (and other) origins, living in India or abroad, interested in easily exploring cuisines from other cultures.
