Enter to win a copy of Coconut Lagoon: Recipes from a South Indian Kitchen by Joe Thottungal

Joe Thottungal was born in the State of Kerala in South India and in 1998 immigrated to Canada. He is now the chef/owner of Coconut Lagoon and Thali Coconut Lagoon in Ottawa where he displays his talents and showcases the exclusive cuisine of Kerala with a modern twist.

His debut cookbook (released in Canada in May and in the US this month) is a collection of 80 easy-to-make recipes designed with home cooks and the modern kitchen in mind. Coconut Lagoon features authentic regional dishes from Kerala such as mango pickle, dosa, Malabar parathas, biryani, Thrissur-style fish, and banana fritters, as well as more-widely-known Indian recipes that are loved around the world, such as chai, butter chicken, and poori. A handy section on ingredients, a resource list, and stunning photography throughout make this book a perfect fit for anyone wishing to tackle Indian dishes and has an appreciation for today's kitchen. To me, the dishes here look cleaner and less muddled than some Indian recipes.
