A Sinhala-language cookery book, written throughout in Sinhala with no English text — worth knowing before ordering from outside Sri Lanka, as a reader will need Sinhala to use it.
Jeewani Hasantha Wickramathunga sets out recipes drawn from both Eastern and Western food and drink, with attention to two things at once: how a dish tastes and what goodness it carries. Alongside the recipes themselves, the book deals with the steps a cook should take so that the nutritional quality of ingredients is not lost in the preparation — a concern that runs through the collection rather than sitting in a separate chapter. The dishes and drinks covered are many and varied.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo, an established Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English.
It will suit a Sinhala-reading cook who wants everyday recipes with some thought given to how food is handled, and Sri Lankan households abroad looking for a kitchen book in the language they cook in.
