Great Curries of India

An excellent cookery guide. It's sad if there are exclusive recipes to each edition of this iconic cookery book. Infact one can even start a modest eatery by EXACTLY cooking the way each recipe has been written . Is there any better testimony to the authenticity of the book and the integrity of its author....?

Got this book in paperback see it in hardback bought it found out it contains extra recipes!

Great recipes easy to follow and extremely good to eat.

The book is great for people who are already familiar with Indian cooking. I am already familiar with Indian Cooking and didn't have much of a problem in figuring out potency of spices and how to adjust for mild, medium and hot.I use 3 of the recipes in this book fairly regularly and my family like the dishes. This book is one of the best of the Indian cook books I have both in recipes as well as in illustration. I would very much like the author to write an authentic Indian cookbook from different parts of India as she has the knack for putting it all together.

Every recipe in this book is wonderful. I have been cooking from it for about three weeks now and have yet to be disappointed. The recipes require you to expand your spice collection dramatically from the average american selection, but this is for the best. Fortunately, the book also goes into great detail trying to teach the reader how to appropriately use all of those new spices, as well as trying to explain the significance of each dish in Indian culture. In the end this has taught me how to make all of my personal recipes better through the intelligent use of spices. A gift that is worth many times the monetary value of this publication. I recommend to book to anyone and everyone who loves making and eating delicious food.-contented chefP.S. Every recipe in the book can be easily converted into a vegetarian dish, which is great for people like me who do not eat meat.

Very user friendly and simple. All spices from India are pictured and explained accurately..
