Her projects are for those newer to the techniques, but the designs never look like beginner projects. Her designs are simple to stitch...but Arounna has shown us again and again that there is beauty in simplicity and in the natural world around us. --Jillian Moreno, Modern Daily Knitting This incredible and stunning cookbook on Sri Lankan food opens a world of rich flavors and textures.
