Thanks, everyone. I wasn't planning on cooking at all :) This is research for (hopefully!) a culinary/food walk/trail/tour.
I'm a long way from it,though. I need a lot of history, although the recipes will definitely help in seeing how things have evolved. (I need the south indian equivalent of "Curry", but I don't think it exists). Does anyone have the original 3-part series of Cook and See? I'd love to borrow it.
