The Epicure Cookbook
“At a Moplah Food Festival in Bangalore recently, a regular user of my cookbook rang up the organisers on hearing that I was in town. She had bought my book Malabar Muslim Cookery a decade back and wanted it autographed. This is only an instance of the appreciation I have received to my recipe books that include The Epicure Cookbook.”
Storytellers: Six-pack wonder
Storytellers is the closest kids can get to a six pack. Each volume, in a colourful cardboard box, comes with five storybooks and a VCD.
Storytellers is a product of an association between local publishers Orient Longman and Bookbox, an American company which has sourced stories from around the world. This means the stories are not the hackneyed ones served out to children over the generations.
The read-along method helps a child relate phonetic sounds with visual subtitles, thereby accelerating the development of his reading skills.
The CD has other interactive parts, too – puzzles like Join The Dots and Sort The Jumbled Pieces, for instance. One can also take the printouts of outlined pictures for colouring.
