Featuring all-new recipes, Bal's Spice Kitchen works on two simple principles: spice is the key to delicious cooking, and making flavourful crowd-pleasing meals doesn't have to take a lot of time. Inspired by the traditional Indian recipes of her childhood, Bal Arneson has become a leader in fresh and fast Indian food. Now, in Bal's Spice Kitchen, she honours that tradition of flavour by showing home chefs how to complement their favourite recipes with new spice combinations. With a guide to creating your own spice mixtures and a spice glossary, Bal's Spice Kitchen moves beyond delectable recipes and gives you the know-how to create your own spice kitchen.
Bal Arneson is the host of her own cooking show, Spice Goddess, on the Cooking Channel in the U.S. and the Food Network in Canada. The show ran successfully for two seasons and has been nominated for a JBF (James Beard Foundation) award and a NAMIC (National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications) Vision award. Bal is a bestselling national author of two cookbooks, Everyday Indian and Bal's Quick & Healthy Indian, the latter of which won the 2011 Canada (English) award for best Asian cuisine cookbook at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Bal works closely with doctors and cardiologists in Canada as a consultant chef, and is an inspiring public speaker. Bal has a master's degree in education and teaches part time; she lives with her daughter and son.
