| J. K. Galbraith |
“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |
| Waverly Root (1903-1982) |
This special feeling towards fruit, its glory and abundance, is I would say universal.... We respond to strawberry fields or cherry orchards with a delight that a cabbage patch or even an elegant vegetable garden cannot provoke. |

Wash lentils thoroughly. Place in a saucepan with the turmeric & 5
cups of water. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat &
simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add
lemon juice to lentils & cook for a further 15 minutes. Turn off
heat & beat with a wire whisk.
Heat ghee, when very hot, add cumin seeds & fry for about 10 seconds.
Remove pan from the heat & add red pepper & minced garlic. Stir
rapidly for 10 seconds until the garlic begins to colour, but do not
let it brown. Pour over the hot puree. Serve immediately.
