4.0 out of 5 stars Old favorites with some new regional recipes, 7 April 2001
By A Customer
The secret of this book is the Sri Lankan recipes that are tucked away between the old Indian favorites. Descriptions of the "red, black and white" Sri Lankan curries are mouthwatering and the relatively few ingredients indicate the ease of cooking. A comprehensive list of special ingredients and cooking basics are precursors to a varied range of Meat, Chicken, Seafood and Vegetable recipes. The Author also provides a valuable set of conversion tables, detailing the subtle differences between the weights and measures of Euorope, Australasia and the Americas and which will provide a useful ready reference for any cook who collects recipe books from around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, 20 Jun 2002
By A Customer
Anyone who's cooked better Indian than these recipes offer must be a culinary wizard. Better than anything Indian I have ever tasted, including in India.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why not be different and focus on cooking from Sri Lanka?, 3 Jul 2001
By A Customer
What a disappointment! Sri Lankan cooking is very good, and deserves a publication of its own rather than an assortment of recipes squeezed in between others from the sub-continent. A great pity that Leith's and Bloomsbury did not have the insight to encourage Priya Wickramasinghe to focus on cooking from her homeland (there is a market) but if the Forward is anything to go by, perhaps Leiths have not yet discerned the difference between Bengal cooking and Sri Lankan cooking.

The Sri Lankan section of Charmaine Solomon's 'The Complete Asian Cookbook' is to be recommended, but oh for additional recipes that are both inspirational and implementable!
