I was scanning for some great books on Kashmir food. Right now, I went over the book on Kashmiri Hindu Food titled "Zaika-Kashmiri Pandit Cooking". I needed to buy the book on the web. Be that as it may, it was a vain endeavour for me. The name of the writer for this book is Sonya Atal Sapru. By one way or another, I got her contact data and rang her. I enlightened her regarding my interests in Kashmiri Cooking and my endeavours to take a few to get back some composure of her book. In an exceptionally obliging way, she included to me that she has one duplicate of the book and she may jump at the chance to blessing it to me. Nothing could counteract me now other than coming to her place, meeting her and get the duplicate of the book. At long last she talented me the book with her gifts. It took me about five years to compose the survey of her book (I was languid enough). I read it multiple times to date.
The book isn't exceptionally thick one. The absolute number of pages is 70. It was distributed in the time of 1999. it was distributed by Harper Collins, India. The ISBN is 81-7223-341-8. The expense of the book is Rs.195. The spread page is a photo with two casings joined together-one with the photo of Kashmiri Pulao and fennel seeds and the second one is the photo of a run of the mill Kashmiri Pandit woman wearing a saree with full pullover, commonplace Kashmiri Gems with the trademark since quite a while ago fastened jhumkas and high-quality fan in her grasp. The rear of the book is the marvellous photo of the writer with her youngster in her lap. The writer asserts the realness of the validity of the plans partook in the book. She expressed gratitude toward her relative - Smt.Gita Sapru-for her assistance and direction.
The book has been partitioned into six areas and they are the accompanying:
a. How to design a Kashmiri Supper (unique commitment)? There are in all-out four manners by which the menu can be set for the afternoon.
b. Kashmiri Garam masala (independently examined in the whole book)
c. 16 Non-vegan plans
d. 12 Vegan plans
e. 5 Dals and 4 Rice dishes
f. 2 Chutneys,2 Raitas and 4 Pastries
The magnificent focuses in the book are:
1. There is a great number of uncommon and novel family photos displayed in the book. These are old and dark white in shading demonstrating the period during which they were clicked and imparted to not just the future relatives; be that as it may, with every single peruser of the book. They are rich in exhibiting the way of life of the Kashmiri Pandit families. The creator states "representation of a progenitor and found in an old chest of photos".
2. The writer has set aside some effort to make reference to add up to a number of servings, planning time and cooking time for every single formula in the book.
3. She has clarified each formula in basic English language.
4. The way where she recognizes her relatives for their commitment towards the distributing of the book.
The feeble purposes of the book are:
1. Not very many plans have been shared and displayed in the book.
2. Merry plans are absent in the book.
All in all, the book is little and with few pages. It shows the plans and their givers. The book is a blend of plans and culture of Kashmiri Pandits indicated by means of the rich and point by point photos from the writer's family.
