Some months ago I did some test cooking for a Sri Lankan cookbook by Mary Anne Mohanraj. Considering I had to tone down the hotness in this very hot cuisine for the Norwegian bachelor farmers at my house, it is still very tasty stuff. We are particularly partial to the Spicy Chicken Curry, the Golden Rice Pilaf and the Ginger-Garlic Chicken. The Mango Chutney is wonderful made with apples too, although it mysteriously gets less hot as it sits in the jar. Now that I finally have laid hands on properly printed copies it is still easier to cook off of my marked-up galley pages, but I am very proud of my minuscule part in the production. The explanatory essays are the finest kind of food writing, personal, evocative and friendly, and the recipes and directions are very clear. And Number One Son has learned to chop and saute the onions just as Mary Anne describes.
