The Food and Cooking of Pakistan

This collection of more than 85 recipes by the expert Shehzad Husain covers everything from street food to desserts and drinks, all shown step by step and with a photograph of each finished dish.

Pakistan is proud of its culinary heritage and the regional dishes that are increasingly popular around the world.

Classics include delectable biryanis – a must at every wedding banquet – nehari, haleem, kebabs, gol gappay, qormas, kunnas, tikas… to name just a few.

Whether cooked over the glowing coals of a barbecue, in the belly of a tandoor or in a kadahi, Pakistani dishes evoke the essence of the country, with a heady combination of spices.

Shehzad Husain was born in Pakistan and lives in London. She has appeared on many TV cooking shows, advised a leading food retailer on their Indian foods, and has won numerous awards including Asian Woman of Achievement. This is her tenth book.
