Lanka Food, penned by acclaimed Sydney chef and restaurateur O Tama Carey, is a comprehensive guide to Sri Lankan cooking. Nestled on the edge of the Indian Ocean, just below India, Sri Lanka is a diminutive teardrop-shaped island known as Lanka in Sanskrit, meaning "island" in Tamil. This country is characterized by its contradictions, and the culinary landscape of Sri Lanka is equally enigmatic. While the dishes are gradually gaining international recognition, the foundations and building blocks of Sri Lankan cooking are intricate. They encapsulate the diverse peoples, history, flavors, and ideas that have intertwined to create a cuisine that is distinct yet challenging to define.
O Tama's passion for the irresistible pancake-like Sri Lankan staple hoppers drove her to embark on a professional culinary journey, drawing upon her youth, heritage, and travels. In Lanka Food, the owner of Lankan Filling Station brings her expertise together with recipes that demystify vegetable-dominant curries, hoppers, and the diverse range of spices and curry powders that infuse Sri Lankan dishes with vibrancy.
Furthermore, the cookbook includes essays that provide further context to the cuisine, serving as a valuable guide for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of the culture and the central role of food. It serves as an excellent starting point for both cooking enthusiasts and those who wish to share the delights of Sri Lankan feasts with friends and family in the comfort of their own homes.
