ANDAZA: A MEMOIR / PAKISTANI KITCHEN (HB)

Sumayya Usmani grew up torn between the social expectations of a young girl’s place in Pakistan and the inspiration she felt in the kitchen, seeing her mother, and her grandmothers’ confidence, intuition and effortless ability to build complex, layered flavours in their cooking. This evocative and moving food memoir includes the most meaningful recipes of Sumayya's childhood and tells the story of how she learned the meaning of 'andaza': that the essence of a recipe is not a list of measured ingredients, but a feeling in your hands.
