Pooja Bavishi, founder and CEO of the artisanal ice cream company Malai, has released a new cookbook of the same name, containing 100 recipes featuring the vibrant flavors of South Asian cuisine. Showcasing such enticing ingredients as cardamom, rose, almond, pepper, mango, chai, orange, lychee, fennel, and saffron, this first-of-its-kind cookbook describes how to prepare ice cream bars, pies, cakes, cookies, and more, all while sharing the personal stories that have shaped Bavishi on a highly fulfilling culinary journey (which she described on a recent episode of NPR’s “Morning Edition”).
