Purple Olive

Welcome to the official Purple Olive. Indian cookery is not in fact the cuisine of a single nationality. It is rather the collective name given to the combination of different cuisines from many different countries. India is a vast sub-continant divided from the rest of Asia by the Himalayas. It is about the same size as all the countries of Europe put together and has been home to an astonishing diversity of different peoples, speaking some 14 major languages and about 100 dialects. It is hardly surprising, then, that its cuisine should be correspondingly varied. The influence of many different cultures, including those of Moghuls, Portuguese, Persians and British have over the years given rise to many new ideas in Indian cuisine.
