Summary: Lord Krishna's Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegerarian Cooking
Review: Of all cookbooks on my book shelf, this is my all-time favorite. I have cooked through the recipes in the book nearly four times now. Why do I find it so outstanding?It is well written, well researched, graphically pleasing, the recipes are easy to follow, and the tastes are simply sublime. Further the A To Z reference section answers every imaginable question a cook might have--its like attending a cooking class taught by Yamuna Devi herself! I highly recommend this book. Do youself a favor--purchase this cookbook for yourself, and buy copies for good friends. This book is a treasure. You will thank yourself if you do!

Summary: I want to return it to the publisher
Review: I bought this book because I saw some excellent reviews. I was totally disappointed after trying a couple of recipes. Yamuna Devi should have shown a bit more professionalism. She tells us to do something in one step and refers to it in later steps as something else. Overall, a real waste of time and money. Better spend your money on a Madhur Jaffrey book.

Summary: ancient traditions for the modern kitchen
Review: Yamuna Devi has performed a wonderful service for all those interested in cooking, not only for nourishment of the body and for good taste, but also for consciousness. Yamuna describes Vedic cooking as a service performed for the glory of God, and eating food prepared in such a manner is a sublime experience. The recipes are marvelous--try the dhokla, which is a staple in our house. But even more than the sumptuous flavors of her recipes, the book describes a holistic approach to preparing food as a sacred activity.

Summary: The Most Authentic Book on Indian Vegetarian Cooking
Review: Of the countless books that I have seen on the topic of Indian vegetarian cooking, this is perhaps THE BEST book. I have tried a number of recepies from Desserts section and found the information very useful and reliable. A must for anybody who wants authentic Indian cooking book.

Summary: The best!
Review: I bought a number of Indian cookbooks before this one--with limited success. I have now sent them all to the used bookstore--this is the only Indian cookbook you will ever need. I've learned how to make all my favorites from Indian restaurants plus many, many more that I had never even heard of. Most of the recipes require ingredients that I don't always have in the house and can be somewhat complex, but they are well worth the effort.

Summary: first class
Review: the best veggie book there is...bar none. I am american, and my husband is punjabi. He eats only desi food. my in-laws do not speak English...I cook indian food every day and have been for the last 24 years! I make fresh roti almost every night. whenever I need to check on anything as a reference....this is it....the only one. now my in-laws say I cook better than most indian woman....go figure! amazing...and so is this book. I have been waiting for it to come back into print so that i can send it to all my in-laws!-especially to the new members of the family, the younger generation do not know how to cook at all. thank you Yamuna Devi.

Summary: Brilliant and very nearly encyclopedic. Buy it!
Review: I am not Indian and I own lots of vegetarian and non-vegetarian cookbooks, but this is consistently THE cookbook I use most. In these nearly 800 pages, Devi manages to make the Indian cuisines (plural) accessible to American and British cooks without in any way watering down their authenticity or their bold flavors; the glossary of ingredients and possible substitutions, for instance, is the best I've ever seen. Even a great book can have an occasional flaw, and this one does: Devi fawns over her guru in its pages to a mildly nauseating degree. But if you can ignore that...and you can... this is the best few bucks you'll ever spend on a vegetarian cookbook.

Summary: ABSOLUELY THE BEST
Review: I've had this book for years, and I'm so happy that it is back in print. I've been waiting to give it as a gift to my friends. Never have I seen a better cookbook-period. The balance of flavors is perfect, and each dish will send happy eaters into Nirvana. Most recipes do require some time, but it is definitely worth the effort. Stock up your spice rack and start cooking!
