I was not familiar with patha before this book, and it not only taught me a new staple to add to my rotation it offered me something only great recipes do, insight on a culture I didn’t know much about. While it is hard to pick my favourite, the crown jewel for me in Eat Glocal has got to be the recipe for patha. We are in a powerful time in food media where stories such are these are breaking into the forefront of our literary conversations.
The e-book is forwarded by none other than Sohla El-Waylly of YouTube fame who says Kamini’s “tender stories about how she learned core recipes from the omnipotent matriarchs in her family made me revisit similar memories of my own.
According to Kamini, the garam masala was never intended to pair with the Milanese cooking method but it worked really well. One of the dishes she loves is the garam masala prawn risotto. In her cashew nut hummus recipe, she adds cashew nut butter to the mixture instead of the classic tahini, and in her bacon dhal recipe, she includes pork (a “disputable” type of meat with dhal). Flavour is something that comes naturally to me,” she says. “The judges on MasterChef always said that ‘food was personal’ and ‘put yourself on the plate’ and that’s exactly what I have done. Kamini hopes that Eat Glocal will inspire people to think about tradition as part of their daily lives and not only save traditional food for special occasions but enjoy it on the regular. She is the host of the food-travel show Girl Eat World, which was broadcast on The Food Network, Discovery World and Netflix North America. The much-anticipated book is a collection of recipes inspired by her upbringing while paying homage to her travels. MasterChef SA winner and food media personality Kamini Pather has just released her first e-cookbook, titled Eat Glocal.
