What Google's AI Overview has to say about Curry and Bread

Here's what Google's AI Overview has to say about Pravasan Pillay's new book, Curry and Bread:

Curry & Bread is the name of a book by Pravasan Pillay, which explores South African Indian cuisine and culture, particularly focusing on Durban's food scene. 

The book is described as a blend of memoir, humor, and personal stories, centered around food experiences and childhood memories. It includes narratives about dishes like bunny chow and baked bean curry, and reflects on the nostalgic aspects of food and its connection to South African Indian identity. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Pravasan Pillay's Curry & Bread:
  The book is a collection of essays and stories, not a cookbook, that delves into South African Indian food culture, with a particular emphasis on Durban. 
• Durban's Culinary Identity:

  The book explores the unique flavors and dishes of Durban, a city with a strong Indian community, and their influence on South African cuisine. 
• Nostalgia and Reflection:

  Pillay's writing often evokes a sense of nostalgia for childhood and earlier times, while also examining the loss and changes that come with time and migration. 
• "Bunny Chow" Connection:

  The book touches upon the popular Durban dish, bunny chow, a curry served in a hollowed-out loaf of bread, highlighting its cultural significance. 
• Beyond the Recipes:

  "Curry & Bread" isn't just about recipes; it's a literary journey into the emotional and cultural landscape of food, according to The Post. 
• Durban Curry:

  The book also explores the unique characteristics of Durban curries, which are known for their use of chili and tomatoes. 

Curry and Bread is available mainly from Made in Durban, but will soon be available in select Exclusive Books branches and Clarke's bookstore in Cape Town.

Gone fishing - a collage by Paul Warren

 

Gone Fishing is a collage by UK artist Paul Warren, inspired by my prose poem 'Gone Fishing' from my latest collection, Somewhere else, published by Graffiti in Kolkata.

The poem is as follows:

The fish with the face of a judge moves slowly as always, just breaking the surface. There is no sound as you trace your fingers down the length of my spine. The fan in the restaurant turns noiselessly round and round. The waiters stand in the doorway, casting over our table. Hooks lodge in our lips, so we dare not move.

You can order Somewhere else from Clarke's Bookshop in Cape Town here.
