Ammi's Kitchen

Ammi's Kitchen celebrates heirloom Rampuri recipes passed down by Pernia Qureshi’s grandmother - blending tradition, memory, and the rich culinary legacy of north India. Ammi’s Kitchen: Heirloom Recipes from Rampur is a tribute to all grandmothers who have been the torchbearers of saving and passing on the legacy of classic traditional family recipes. Pernia Qureshi’s grandmother, Mussharaf-ul-Nissa Begum, originally from Chandausi in the United Provinces, was married at a young age into the princely state of Rampur. With the influence of her hometown, now combined with the newfound exposure to Rampur’s more modern and eclectic cuisine, she created a food language that was uniquely her own. This book is a collection of recipes she mastered over the years, which still carry the aromas of the treasures of history.
