“My favourite cookbook of the year!”
-- Marco Pierre-White
Emily Dobbs's book Weligama is full of characterful recipes: cucumber curry, gotu kola salad (fresh herbs, grated coconut, onion and anchovies); fresh pickles aplenty and a sticky perfumed celebration sponge known as Love Cake. This is the book of the year for spice fans. -- Rose Prince THE SPECTATOR
