Amma's Cuisine Lilanie K Geiger

This Cookbook is a Special Dedication to my mother Vasanthica, who developed into a unique and talented cook as she embraced the flavors of the Western World with the flavors of the Eastern World. The intent of this cookbook is for a global audience. It gives insights into the Sri Lankan culture and cuisine, as well as various flavors of American and International foods. Some of the recipes included in this cookbook come from her friends, as exchanging recipes played an important part in her life and some have come to me from my sister Ramani and my friends. It is more than a cookbook as it includes a story of an "Island Wedding". The pictures presented in this cookbook are of my parents' wedding day. It will illustrate a story of their wedding on the island of Kayts, off the Jaffna Peninsula in Sri Lanka.
