Aromas of Sindh is a collection of over 100 authentic vegetarian recipes from the delectable Sindhi cuisine, many of them passed down in the author’s family.

The book has five sections: Breakfast, Main, Side, Snack, and Sweet, and includes a bonus section of seven additional recipes. Each recipe is accompanied by a beautiful picture of the plated dish and a story of the author’s memories with reference to the dish. Beautifully written and uniquely styled, the book will take readers familiar with this cuisine down memory lane and offer up a tasty bit of nostalgia.
