A hundred recipes, each one different from the last, selected on the principle that they can be put together without spending much. The compiler, Dushanthi Madanayake, presents cookery programmes on two Sri Lankan television channels.
One point matters before ordering from abroad: this is a Sinhala book. The recipes, the ingredient lists and the method are all in Sinhala script, and the English words on the cover are the only part of it in English. Alongside them sits a Sinhala subtitle that asks, roughly, who is it that cannot cook. A reader who does not read Sinhala will not be able to follow the instructions.
It comes from M. D. Gunasena, the long-established Colombo publishing and bookselling house, which issues titles in Sinhala and in English. For Sinhala-reading households abroad, or for anyone building a shelf of Sri Lankan domestic cookery in the original language, this is a straightforward everyday collection rather than a book about food.
