Those homely virtues-longevity, consistency-are the ones emphasized by Saint Laurent's rivals, such as Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld, in commenting on the Met's selection, and this is not faint praise. Members of the high-fashion elite are rich and coddled celebrities who seldom breathe unscented air, but they risk their names and their companies in the cold atmosphere of commerce with each new collection. There are not many truly wealthy private clients left, and they instinctively flock to whatever guru has had his inspiration certified by the press and by a chic popular line...

The dark sauces, for example, are seldom thickened with flour, but with onions, garlic, ginger, yogurt and tomatoes. Her book lists a subtle series of inviting vegetable preparations that could well accompany Western dishes: mushrooms and potatoes cooked with garlic and ginger, spicy green beans, sweet and sour okra, eggplant "cooked in pickling style." Better yet, serve them with the great main dishes of India. Memorable recipes, including several in which lamb replaces hard-to-find goat, range from Persian-derived shahi...
