Customer Reviews

Classical Indian cuisine

I have been cooking with this book since it was published more than a dozen years ago. If there is 'classical Indian cuisine' - this book captures it. The recipes are authentic in the results they produce and are easy to follow. This book is a must for anyone who professes to know how to cook Indian food whether they are a novice or an expert. It should be noted that these are restaurant recipes coming from food professionals. You will not be asked to open a jar of this or that. But neither are you ever required to find exotic ingredients - and that is the beauty of this book. No other book compares.

Absolutely the best

I bought this book when a friend of mine (no mean cook himself) advised me to try it. Every recipe that I have tried works beautifully. This is one book anyone looking to make Indian food MUST have. Our gastronomical experience took a whole new direction with this work of art.I like the format where each process is explained in a lucid manner. Nothing is difficult when you have this in the kitchen.To gather recipies from all over India is extremely difficult by itself, to do it in one book is a hard one to beat.I have loved every moment of owning this book.

The best Indian cookbook

I purchased this book on a trip to India several years ago on the advice of friends. I have tried many of the recipes in the book and all have been great successes. It is the finest Indian cookbook in my collection. If you have only one Indian cookbook, this is the one to own.
