As I had the Fish curry with Raw Turmeric prepared by Minakshi, my taste buds experienced an exotic symphony of flavors. My subconscious was transported to the beautiful valleys and streams of Assam, almost feeling the gentle breeze kissing the tree tops. For an instant, I was back in Guwahati, Assam ,watching the Sun peeking over the majestic almighty Brahmaputra. All the recipes in this book are a gastronomic delight.

When I came to know about the Assamese Recipe book by Assamese ( Axomiya ) Pakghor, I felt this is a gigantic effort. The Assamese food is basically very delicious and mouthwatering for foodies who love little spice to its extent. The variety of recipes with rice by side a feast to remember. I believe the book will showcase the rich Assamese food varieties from the tribes in plains and hills too.

Being married to an Assamese , I was introduced to Authentic Assamese delicacies & I was amazed as these verities are not easily find in any Indin restaurants here. This book will help many who are interested in cooking as its written language is English.” Thank you “Axomiya Pakghar “.

I was introduced to Assamese food through my wife. I, being an American and a trained chef, was immediately intrigued by the new ingredients, seasoning and spices. Minakshi's recipes have furthered my knowledge and love for all things Assamese. Mustard oil, rohu fish, bitter gourd, Steamed Pitha ( Mohura pitha) to name a few. All of “Axomiya Pakghar “range from small snacks to entrees. I love how all the recipes marries fresh herbs, vegetables and proteins with savory / spicy influences through the use of curry leaves and regional chilis. The brightness of the citrus and coriander leaves balanced out by the smokey depth of the dry spice blends are what keeps me returning to this book for more ideas.

This is such a wonderful book by Assamese( Axomiya ) Pakghor. As an Assamese, born and brought up in the UK and now living in New York, having access to the recipes for such fine Assamese delicacies not only brings me closer to my heritage, but fulfills the nostalgia from not being able to visit back home as often. I love cooking these recipes together with my children who love the various flavors, aromas and spices. When we are unable to travel it reminds them of their Aita’s cooking from London!
