Rating:  Summary: 1000 mouth watering recipes Review: Having lived in India this book was reccomended by an Indian friend. What better reccomendation do you need
Rating:  Summary: Mmmmm Indian Food Good Review: I love this book for the sheer quantity of recipes that it contains. I was a bit apprehensive about buying it at first because I am a vegetarian and it has shrimp on the front cover. Not surprisingly, however, it has a ton of vegetarian recipes. I think it's a great buy.Note: As previously mentioned, it does not have a lot of information for the inexperienced cook.

Rating:  Summary: Results are great, but setup is awkward Review: I loved the way all of the recipes I've tried have turned out, but it is rather annoying trying to read the recipes the way they've been set up in the book. They are VERY crowded, and the ingredients aren't listed vertically.
Rating:  Summary: A very concise foreign book on Indian cookery Review: I was amazed by the detail with which a non Indian author has described the variety of Indian dishes.A must for all Indian cookery enthusiasts
Rating:  Summary: Useless unless you like risks Review: I'm not sure why everyone gave this book good reviews. I know, it sounds like lots of bang for your buck--1,000 recipes! But they are packed in with no pictures, details, or descriptions. I don't know what I'll end up with, so I'm scared to try too much!
Rating:  Summary: Fast, Easy, Delicious, Practical .. Did I Mention Cheap? Review: I've used this book for a couple of years, and it has never failed me. It's the first and best idea-generator when I find myself faced with a hungry-right-now feeling/family, and a kitchen with not much in it. Got only three aging zuccinis and a potato? This book guarantees that you'll make something wonderful of it. One egg and a wilted broccoli stem? No problem. Guests coming in half an hour? Got it covered. Not only will they eat, but they'll eat well and be mighty impressed besides. The only investment required, besides the very modest price of the book itself, is a half-dozen basic spices - especially since most of the recipes don't require (or miss) meat. Cheap, fast, creative, delicious, healthy.... I could go on even further but will only add that this book is the one and only thing I actually missed when I left it behind in the process of leaving my husband! And I'm buying another copy today.
Rating:  Summary: Enough Indian recipes to keep you going for years! Review: Not only is this book amazing in its scope and depth (there's over 80 recipes just for desserts, for crying out loud!), almost every recipe I've tried so far has been fantastic. This is not really a cookbook for the faint-of-heart; there's no pictures, and most recipes are simply a list of ingredients and a paragraph or two of cooking instructions. But, properly followed, these recipes yield dishes that are simple, tasty, and authentic (so says my Indian friend, who I had to pester for months to get my copy back from after I loaned it to him). And for under $10, it's hard to argue with the price - there's more good stuff in here than glossy cookbooks that cost 3 or 4 times as much.
Rating:  Summary: The complexities of Indian cuisine simplified. Review: Quite simply the best and most diverse book on Indian cuisine on the market. The variety in all areas is superb and yearns for the reader to try out even the seemingly most complex of recipes. If you are interested in Indian cooking and you haven't bought this book, then why not.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: the book arrived fast and was in the exact condition the seller said it would be. thanks for the amazing service:)
