S?m? ??? that ???k?ng ?? a spiritual ??t. It involves not ?nl? the m?nd ?r h?nd? but ?l?? th? h??rt. In Ind??, I r??l?z?d th?t th?? ?? definitely true. Th?ught and ??t??n?? are ?nv??t?d ?n every ?t?w ?r b?k?d d??h; ?v?n ?m?ng ???r residents, ??u ??n find rich flavored d??h??, ??????, ?nd scents. I w?nt to t?k? ??u ?n a ?ul?n?r? journey thr?ugh recipes ?nd l?nd??????. This tr?? and recipes w?ll g?v? ??u a deeper gl?n?? ?f the landscapes ?nd people ?f n?rth?rn India. This ?? n?t a regular Indian cookbook; ?n this b??k, I h?v? g?th?r?d authentic N?rth Ind??n r??????. M??t ???t?rn ???kb??k? are either inaccessible to the common w??t?rn reader, or they become "Americanized" in a way that th? ?ngr?d??nt? ?r? replaced with western ?ngr?d??nt?, m?k?ng the recipes very different fr?m their ??ur??. I choose to k??? the r?????? ?uth?nt??, ?? I got them fr?m th? l???l people of N?rth India. Al?ng with that, I ?tt??h?d ?n Ind??n-W??t?rn Ingr?d??nt? Dictionary, ?x?l??n?ng about ???h ?ngr?d??nt ?nd ?ugg??t?ng a reasonable, natural ?ub?t?tut? ?n case ?n? ?f th? ?ngr?d??nt? ?? m????ng. In doing ??, I have ?r??t?d th?? ???kb??k to be gr??t for all l?v?l? ?f F??d???. I hoped ??u ?nj?? this b??k. Wishing you a delicious ?nd spiritual j?urn??.
