Bridget White-kumar self published author of 5 Anglo-Indian recipe books.

My name is Bridget White-kumar and I'm a self published author of 5 Anglo-Indian recipe books.
These books contain authentic Anglo-Indian Recipes that have been passed down from the Colonial Era. The recipes are genuine and reflect the true taste of Anglo-Indian Cuisine. Many of the dishes featured in my books were prepared by the older generation and are now almost forgotten. It is also a small attempt on my part to preserve the culture of our community through its culinary delights.

I would be delighted to share my Anglo-Indian recipes with the members of the group. Since I'm a self published author, I market the books myself so people could get in touch with by email bidkumar@gmail.com or Phone 0091 80 25504137 / +919845571254.

I've displayed the books and a short write-up about each on my sites http://anglo-indianfood.blogspot.com http://anglo-indianrecipes.blogspot.com and http://blog.pepperwater.com/bridgetsrecipes
