A collection of everyday recipes put together by Dushanthi Madanayake, with cost at the centre of the brief: the dishes gathered here are chosen to be prepared cheaply. It is a working cookbook rather than a showpiece one, written in English and issued in hardcover by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo.
Madanayake is a chef known to Sri Lankan viewers from the cooking programmes she presents on two of the country's television channels, and the book carries that same practical, demonstrative approach onto the page. Readers who have followed her on screen will recognise the register; those coming to her for the first time get the recipes without the broadcast.
The range is broad, with a great many recipes assembled in a single volume, so it suits a household kitchen where the question is what to cook tonight within a budget rather than what to attempt at the weekend. It will also appeal to Sri Lankans abroad, and to anyone cooking Sri Lankan food in English for the first time, who wants a dependable everyday reference bound to last.
