"This spicy fish stew will make you wish you were sitting on the beach in Sri Lanka." -Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown blog "Few people know Sri Lankan foods, as restaurants featuring foods of that small nation are not common. Yet foods of that small island are fabulous and nicely demonstrated by Douglas Bullis and Wendy Hutton in Sri Lankan Cooking...The recipe writing is very good as well as the recipe layout. An average home cook can reproduce most of the recipes." -Manhattan Book Review
