Dining Along the Indus Tanya Mirza Ashraf

A cultural collaboration between the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the United Nations and Nestle, this beautifully produced collection of recipes travels along the length and breadth of the River Indus to provide a taste of the country’s culinary experience. From rice-based dishes — biryani, khichrri and pulao — to barbecued fish and lamb, to a medley of vegetarian fare, the book rounds off with a selection of delectable breads and sumptuous halwas.
