Join us in the Curio Spice Lab and meet our friend and author Ruwanmali as we embark on a collaborative spice blend project! Ruwan will share what it was like to transcribe her family recipes into her beautiful cookbook, and the intricacies of flavors from the central region of Sri Lankan, aka "The Hill Country." You will come away with a newfound love of Sri Lankan cuisines and flavors which are full of depth and spice.
Ruwanmali Samarakoon-Amunugama's childhood memories of visits to her parents' homeland in Sri Lanka were filled with colourful trips to the market, lively, happy meals with her extended family, and long, scenic car rides from the capital of Colombo, past tea estates and farmers' stalls, into the hill country around Kandy. In Milk, Spice and Curry Leaves, Ruwan shares the rustic, tropical flavours of these Sri Lankan visits—sweet pineapple and mango, bitter gourd, toothsome cashews, spicy chili pepper, tart lime, and many more—in recipes designed with North American home cooks in mind.
With lush food photography and styling, hand-drawn illustrations, heirloom photos and ephemera, Milk, Spice and Curry Leaves is an invitation to a way of cooking and a family of traditions from the country known as "the Pearl of the Indian Ocean."
