With over 100 recipes for sauces, chutneys, aromatic curries and subtly spiced vegetables, Pakistan is a perfect introduction to readers new to the cuisine and a welcome reminder of favorites to those already familiar. A few of the recipes that await:  Spiced Chicken Dumplings, Lentil Fritters in Yogurt, Tangy Potato Curry,  Slow-Cooked Lamb, Saffron-Infused Flatbread,  and Parsi Wedding Custard. Along with essays profiling each of the country’s regions, abundant and dramatic photography, and a showstopping package, Pakistan is a cookbook to be read, savored, and cooked from every night.
