Easy Exotic is Awesome

I really enjoyed this cook book! The recipes are easy to follow and i loved learning more about Padma she is a wonderful cook and an inspiration me.

Oh, honestly!!!

This is a cook book for goodness sake. Why all the attitude. This is a good book for the beginner in Indian cooking. I had eaten this type of food at homes of some of my friends and wanted to learn more. This book filled the bill. Good cooking, everyone.

Delicious Food

I bought this book when it came out and I still use it to this day. The recipes are easy and delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty and healthy dishes.

Great recipes...

Another reviewer panned this book b/c she bought it simply to "know Padma better." This is a cookbook, not a biography. The recipes are delicious, low in cholesterol and low-fat. They are easy to make and the instructions are clear, so the book is accessible to new cooks but still interesting for those with more experience in the kitchen. I think this is a terrific book, the recipes I've used have all been delicious (especially the Spinach and Garbanzo Tapas). I highly recommend it.
