It is the kind of afternoon that hints at spring. Najmieh Batmanglij is in her element -- cooking in the large room graced with tones of honeyed oak, smooth stone relics and the sunlight from a wall of windows at the back of her Washington home. She likes the CD of Iranian music turned way up; the aromatics are already at full volume. Wafts of burbling basmati rice and saffron-infused rosewater draw guests close to the long butcher-block counter, where bowls of bitter oranges and round trays of sprouted lentils herald the approach of Nowruz, the Persian new year.
The Iranian native says it's time for her to make some noise -- two grown children, more than three decades and several cookbooks after she and her husband, Mohammad, came to America in exile. Naj, as she is affectionately know...

Judging by the number of cookbooks delivered to my desk every week, it is clear that people are hungry for recipes and stories about food and cooking. For this weekly column, I make one or more of the recipes in my home kitchen from the most intriguing of these cookbooks, and offer my take on both the book and the recipes.
For many of us, there's little ambivalence about Indian food. Ask someone if they enjoy it, and you'll likely get one of two responses: "I love it" or "I hate it." Those on the negative side of the fence may, sadly, have experienced only mediocre curries and leaden pakora -- the vegetable fritters that are a popular Indian street food and, when made properly, are light and crisp (the cuisine will be highlighted during Diwali, "the festival of lights" on Oct. 26). But ...

Cooked lentils might not look that glamorous in photos, but, duly seasoned, they make a delicious statement at mealtime. If you don't have lentils in the pantry, you are missing out on some tasty, healthy and cheap eats.
