Hot, sweet, and ... two other adjectives
I was just flipping through "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi's new cookbook, which came out last month. Many of the recipes in "Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet" sound intriguing -- hot and sour fruit chaat, yellow velvet lentil soup with cumin and dried plums, lamb meatballs in creamy spinach sauce, and Madras-style chicken curry are some of the dishes I'd like to cook.
But there's something oddly familiar about the book. That title ...
