Rating:  Summary: Outstanding book on Indian Vegetarian Cooking Review: Was introduced to this delightful book by a friend. It is a gem of a book on Indian vegetarian cooking. If you follow the recipes you are sure to get outstanding results. The notes on the various regions and cuisines of India are very informative
Rating:  Summary: a definitive cookbook Review: This is definitely the bible of Indian vegetarian cooking. Dairy products are used so if you want to make them vegan they'll need adjustments. I wouldn't recommend this cookbook to the light hearted cook. The recipes are excellent, even telling things like the color that something should turn while browning, but they are a bit more complex than the average cookbook. Definitely authentic so this is great for anyone who appreciates and enjoys the real flavors sand methods of Indian cooking. This cookbook also won the IACP award for cookbook of the year.
Rating:  Summary: Refreshing! Review: This was one of 3 cookbooks I recieved.
I am yet to cook from this, but l have enjoyed reading through the book and find that for a writer that is not Indian, Devi has given us a cookbook that is exciting and closer to indian home cookery than other Indian authored cookbooks.
The wonders of Hindu vegetarian cooking are nicely revealed and amply shared.
This should be a cookbook that anyone really interested in Indian cookery should own. if not to cook with, then certainly to understand the world of Indian vegetarian cooking.
Bravo!
Rating:  Summary: The Best Indian Cook Book for Beginners and Advanced Review: I have worn out this cookbook! I absolutely love it! I learned how to make ghee, parathas, curry powder, garam masala, paneer, chipatees and indian fudge (burfi). It has many delicious recipes. Everything from rice to beens to koftas! Wonderful! I've only come across a couple that were bland for my taste. By far one of the best books on Indian cooking there is. My copy is worn and dirty. I only wish they would have made it spiral bound instead with coated pages.
Rating:  Summary: fantastic! Review: The cook book is positively awesome. I am an avid cook; I cook for family of 5 five days a week. Have read dozens of cook books. This one leads the pack by a wide margin, even when compared to regular (non-vegie) cook books. (I did not buy it because of being vegie.)
