Bal's Spice Kitchen by Bal Arneson; 2014. Softcover. (F&C)

Bal's Spice Kitchen works on two simple principles: spice is the key to delicious cooking and making flavourful crowd-pleasing meals and meals don't have to take a lot of time.

Inspired by the traditional Indian recipes of her childhood, Bal has become a leader in fresh and fast Indian food. Now in Bal's Spice Kitchen she honours that tradition of flavour by showing home chefs how to complement their favourite recipes with new spice combinations. With a guide to creating your own spice mixtures and a spice glossary, Bal's Spice Kitchen moves beyond delectable recipes and arms you with the knowledge to create your own spice kitchen.
