Trinigourmetās Amazon Hotlist for September 2010
Wow! Can you believe itās mid-October already? Maybe itās just me but I swear time accelerates as each calendar year draws to a close! Iām a little bit late posting your fave purchases (and clicks) this month, but better late than never! š Ramin Ganeshramās ode to local cuisine āSweet Handsā retains its top spot yet again! You would think that with itās obvious online popularity and appeal it would be easier to source locally. However, unfortunately that is not the case. Maybe this is because of the dominance of the Naparima Girls Cookbook, maybe itās a local-born presumption that local cuisine doesnāt need literary promoting. Either way, I receive many requests on how to purchase this item locally and my best recommendation is to request it via Nigel Khan Booksellers. They are more than happy to source individual requests, and who knows, if enough people ask it may become a staple for their shelves š
Now on to the countdown!
