Customer Reviews

Excellent and not too tough

I bought this cookbook second hand so had the opportunity to peruse its contents...I continue to be very pleased with the recipes here. Many curries -- tamarind and cilantro are everywhere, the food comes out savory and spicy. There are both veggie (excellent Marwari fare) and meat dishes to be found. I've purchased copies for friends and will continue to do so.

A great cook, and a great human being

All of us who knew Cope were delighted by his dry humor and his authentic cooking. His passing leaves a void which none can fill, as he was truly one of a kind. For those of you who didn't know Cope : the recipes are TRULY easy to reproduce at home, and I'm not a particularly experienced chef. Besides, the recipes are authentic, and have little to do with the standard fare you'll encounter in restaurants. Cope learned from ordinary great cooks, and had a knack for passing on the spirit of the dish.Rest in peace, Copeland Marks. I'll always miss you.
