Industry Reviews
"...a cultural and culinary tribute to a sublimely delicious style of cooking that is simple and full flavored. You want this book. If you are suffering from flavor fatigue, consider yourself cured. Honest, authentic and dependable, the recipes are superb and the curry geeks in your house will be sated for years eating their way through this tome."

--Andrew Zimmern, TV host of BIZARRE FOODS WITH ANDREW ZIMMERN


"A wonderful tour of a lesser-known cuisine. If you dined out and ordered Leela's Chilaw crab curry you'd make a spectacle of yourself, coating your wrists in gravy rich with coconut, curry leaves, chile, garlic and cumin, flecking your face with bits of crab shell. At home, only your family will stare, and they'll be a mess, too."

--Nick Fox, New York Times


"Thirsting for coconut water and a South Asian adventure? Satisfy that wanderlust in your own kitchen with Rice and Curry: Sri Lankan Home Cooking, the new book from globe-trotting gastronome S.H. Fernando Jr. Little known to all but the most intrepid eaters, Sri Lankan cuisine will introduce new, exotic pleasures to your table."
