Synopsis
Fry Bread meets Bilal Cooks Daal in this story about a girl and her mom introducing a school friend to curry—and discovering all the things that curry means to them as they learn to make it together.When Shirin&’s friend Charlotte asks what curry is, Shirin realizes she&’s not sure—she&’s tried many curries and they&’re all so different. So Shirin&’s mom invites them to explore the fragrant world of curry by helping her cook a curry dish. Together, the two girls sniff tangy curry leaves, roll mustard seeds like tiny pearls in their palms, and watch with wonder as Shirin&’s mom measures ingredients with heart and hand. Over the course of the afternoon, the girls discover that the dish isn&’t just a form of sustenance—it&’s the scent of home, a piece of wisdom shared between generations, an art open to invention, and it&’s flavored with love. With delicious writing and imaginative illustrations, Curry Means More showcases the simple yet transformative magic of a home-cooked meal. Back matter includes a history of curries, an introduction to a wide variety of spices, and a family recipe.
