Summary

The award-winning authors take on Indian cuisine and more with “a breathtaking range of recipes . . . so fascinating it renders one virtually speechless” (Quill & Quire). 
 
For this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. 
 
Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent. 
 
“Part travel essay, part recipe journal, and completely compelling.” —The Washington Post 
 
 
 
“This is a comprehensive book filled with compelling writing—a worthy addition to the couple’s impressive body of work.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
 
“At the heart of Mangoes & Curry Leaves is the personal memoir of Alford and Duguid—their story of the Great Subcontinent, told through images and tastes, that is as colorful as it is moving.” —The FoodWine

    This program is read by the authors.Matt Lee and Ted Lee take on the competitive, wild world of high-end catering, exposing the secrets of a food business few home cooks or restaurant chefs ever experience. 
Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Known for their modern take on Southern cooking, the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside-out. It's a realm where you find eccentric characters, working in extreme conditions, who must produce magical events and instantly adapt when, for instance, the host's toast runs a half-hour too long, a hail storm erupts, or a rolling rack of hundreds of ice cream desserts goes wheels-up. 
Whether they're dashing through black-tie fundraisers, celebrity-spotting at a Hamptons cookout, or following a silverware crew at 3:00 a.m. in a warehouse in New Jersey, the Lee brothers guide you on a romp from the inner circle—the elite team of chefs using little more than their wits and Sterno to turn out lamb shanks for eight hundred—to the outer reaches of the industries that facilitate the most dazzling galas. You'll never attend a party—or entertain on your own—in the same way after listening to this audiobook.

'Keto,' from the word ketosis, is made from Ketones, the term for the body's energy molecules. This is a second source of energy for the body that is utilized when glucose (blood sugar) is insufficient to meet the body's needs. Ketones are generated when the number of carbohydrates (the major source of glucose) consumed is very little, in combination to a limited amount of protein (additional protein is converted into glucose.) Under these conditions, the liver converts fat to ketones which are then transported into the bloodstream. The body cells use this as a source of energy, like glucose. They can also be utilized by the brain. This is essential, as the brain cannot get its energy directly from fat, and it is a rapid energy-consuming organ.
