As luscious as her writing on cooking, it's delightful to read the history of a favorite writer in her own view. Rich in photos, and the spices of everyday life in Northern India.

Well written and interestingly told.  Great insight into life in India during the time of Gandhi and the Partition.  Also includes some mouthwatering family recipes at the end.

Jaffrey uses colors, flavors, and spices in Climbing the Mango Trees just as successfully as she does in her cook books.  Her memoir awakens the senses; I can smell the spices, feel the earth beneath my feet, and am swept away to a time and place that is new yet familiar.  A great read!

A sumptious journey through pre and post-partition India, immersing the reader in a flambuoyant and beautifully seasoned memoir of a childhood in the romantic land of monsoons and spiced food, coloured with the sparkling powders of Holi.
