“Father never used a knife to cut mangoes, he would suck them.
He would eat several at a sitting, one by one, all varieties, sandhoori, dusshairi, langra, choussa, alphonso. He loved good food. Good chutney. He was right-handed but held a chapatti in his left; he scooped up the chutney with a torn bit of chapatti. If curried lamb was served, he liked gravy more than the pieces. He ate kebabs without a piyaz.”

“She hadn't had a bite of her dinner. I'd even curled the pasta into a little linguine nest in the center of each bowl.
My mother's was still perfect and round and cold. The sauce had darkened.
"This is delish," she said. "But it needs red wine. I tell you because I love you and you should know for the future."
She went on about deglazing and how it brings out the earthy taste of the onions and never use wine you wouldn't drink yourself and a young, robust wine is what you use in red sauces, nothing fortified or dry, for example.”
