Monsoon
Delicious Indian Recipes for Every Day and Season
Internationally renowned chef and award-winning author Asma Khan returns with a masterclass on building flavour in your cooking through the intuitive principles of Indian cookery.
"The soul of my cooking is the symphonic layering of vibrant flavours that work together like instruments in an orchestra." - Asma Khan
Structured around the six core ayurvedic tastes, namely- Tangy, Bitter, Hot, Sweet, Sour, and Salty and how they correlate to the six seasons in Bengal, this book aims to illuminate Indian cookery by giving you the foundations you need to build balanced flavours, dishes and sumptuous feasts.
With core techniques including roasting, grinding and tempering spices, how to cook with ghee, chillies, and onions, and what to add and when to re-balance flavours in a dish, Asma will empower homecooks to apply fundamental processes intuitively to their cooking. Including 80 flavourful recipes for Chicken Cooked in Pickling Spices and Slow-cooked Lamb with Vinegar, to the more veg-forward Pumpkin Dal, and Rice Pulao with Oranges, this book seeks to honour traditional cooking techniques and ayurvedic principles, and ground them in the modern kitchen.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
