Jevayla Ye – Everyday East Indian Recipes from Abby’s Hearth (Black & White Edition)

Description

This is the budget-friendly Black and White Edition of the award-winning Jevayla Ye.

Best Indigenous People Cookbook in the World — Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2025.

The East Indian community of Mumbai has cooked the same recipes for generations — passed down by word of mouth, handwritten notes, and kitchen memory. This compendium captures 195 of them, a complete record of a living culinary tradition.

From pork vindaloo and duck moilee to bombil tel kanda and fish khujit, these are everyday and celebratory recipes from the kitchens of Mom Astrid and Mama Catherine — traditional favourites that East Indians cook without measurements, now written so anyone can make them, a real labor of love by sister-authors Abby and Sarah under guidance from mom Astrid.

In the Marathi language, ‘Jevayla Ye’ is an invitation to ‘Come for a Meal’. With 195 recipes across 18 chapters: Starters Soups & Salads, Wine & Drink, Fish, Shellfish, Mutton, Beef, Vegetarian, Poultry, Pork, Offal, Bread & Rice, Pickles & Chutneys, Easter, Cakes, Christmas, Other Desserts & Snacks, Meal Prep & Mixes, Fusion Recipes & Abby’s Wines, this compendium, Jevayla Ye: Everyday East Indian Recipes from Abby’s Hearth, invites you to do just that.
