Table: Food Frangipanis And Flair

By Tripat Narayanan

Tripat Narayanan's Table is part legacy, part food narative, and part lifestyle. Tripat recounts how her first kitchen interlude began with unleavened dough, a rolling pin, her grandmother's hand and an eventual chapati. She has evolved since then to include luncheons, seminal Malaysian dishes, Mughalai decadence, Ayurvedic restraint and soul-satisfying TV dinners in her repertoire. Some of this evolution was inherent, some came with marriage and children, and some by osmosis. Her book exudes understatement whilst suggesting stylish ways of entertaining, cooking, eating and, ultimately, living. She details the intricacies of her thematic sit-down, buffet, family and solo meals, giving suggestions for complementary wine, music and aesthetic ideas that combine food, frangipanis and flair. Tripat takes the dinning experience beyond the table.
