About the book

Stories blended with spices, love stewed with the rice, scandals folded into the dough. Spice Sorcery is a cookbook with a difference. It is an intimate and mouth-watering insight into the homes and hearts of the Kutchi Memon community – an idiosyncratic people who put a curiously gigantic premium on the gift of taste. Spice Sorcery is also the story of Razia, the quintessential Memon girl. She uses food to open doors in her life – waving a magic wand, her favourite wooden ladle. Her recipes are likened to magic spells. An apt enough description if you consider how she wields that ladle to enchant a diverse cast of characters: her food-obsessed uncle Munavvar, her autocratic mother-in-law Shakira and her emotionally strained sister-in-law Rabia. Razia’s bewitching tale is steeped in delectable recipes, and sprinkled with little secrets that will bring the smells and flavour of her Kutchi Memon cooking right into your kitchen.

Husna Rehman

Husna is the principal architect at Fulcrum Studio, a design playing field she conceived a decade ago. She paints with light and tangos with the rainbow. Her tryst with the publishing world began when she set off on a mission to fulfil her grandmother’s dream of creating a book on Cutchi Memon cuisine. Having secured a publishing house for her grandmother, one day she received a phone call from HarperCollins inquiring into whether she would like to work on a spin-off on the traditional format. Two trips to Delhi, sixty-nine sketches, seven hundred and fourteen writing hours, nine edits and a whole pregnancy later, spice sorcery has finally been birthed.
