Learn to cook all your favorite Sri Lankan foods with this beautifully illustrated and easy-to-follow Sri Lankan cookbook.
Sri Lanka , the fabled island of sapphires and rubies, is home to one of the most intriguing of Asian cuisines.

To the culinary explorer, however, Sri Lankan food is as intriguing and unique as the many other customs of this island paradise.

Clear, step-by-step directions make this ostensibly complicated cuisine accessible for the home cook. Stunning location photography, a detailed glossary of ingredients, and a comprehensive introduction to the culinary history of the island make Sri Lankan Cooking the perfect companion for your adventure into the delicious world of Sri Lankan cooking.
