Introducing Bombay, Parsis, and the Author

A Bombay kitchen can be anywhere in the world. All you need is an insatiable cu- riosity about food and a love for sharing it. Over the past forty or so years since I first left India, my Bombay kitchen, a Parsi one, has moved across the United States from the East Coast to the Midwest and now finds itself settled in San Francisco, where I’ve lived for twenty-five years with the illustrator of this book, my husband, David King; my mother, Shireen Ichaporia; and an eccentric Amazon parrot who rules over us all.
