Coriander Makes The Difference Pinky Lilani published by Development Dynamics RRP £9.99 Pinky Lilani is a fascinating character and, fittingly, this is a fascinating book. The follow-up to Lilani's debut 'Spice Magic', 'Coriander...' this time hones in specifically on one ingredient. More than just a recipe book, 'Coriander...' offers real soul food.

The 20 recipes included show how coriander is endlessly adaptable, playing a myriad role according to need. Lilani believes this philosophy translates to out daily lives- that various proverbs can provide succour no matter what issue we are coping with. Insights come from Lilani herself, as well as a large group of wise and notable friends including Camila Batmanghelidjh. The author believes that friendship, integrity, kindness and perseverance -along with a little coriander- will lift even the lowest of spirits. Try it and see. |
