A fantastic book! January 31, 2007
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
"Classic Indian Cookery" is one of the best Indian cookbooks I've come across, it compares really well with offerings from Madhur Jaffrey & Manju Malhi. Techniques are illustrated & the use of ingredients is clearly described in a well layed out & easy to follow format, including alternative ingredients for those "hard to find" items. Some of the recipes are a little time consuming & not all are for the complete novice cook but the end results are well worth the effort, particularly for those who prefer creamier dishes such as Butter chicken or Passanda. Ten quid well spent!
This is an excellent book. September 2, 1999

I love this book. You can easily follow the recipes and the techniques. There is also a wealth of background information. And last but not least the food is delicious.

I've owned a copy of this book for several years, and some of the pages are falling out. If I was cursed to own only 5 cookbooks, this would be one of the titles I'd choose.
Must-have for those interested in Indian cooking July 11, 1999

Although the sheer volume of the book is daunting at first, don't panic. My husband and I found Sahni's cookbook to be very well-written, and the recipes are delicious! I will agree with one other reviewer though, and say that Madhur Jaffrey's _Indian Cooking_ might also be a worthwhile buy since her recipes are a little less complicated. But definitely try Sahni's once you get some experience! Her book on vegetarian and grain cooking is also excellent, even if you are not vegetarian.
Fabulous Indian food in my own kitchen! February 15, 1999

"Classic Indian Cooking" is by far the best of the various Indian cookbooks I've owned. Julie Sahni ranks with Julia Child in her ability to teach, inspire and help you understand techniques and ingredients. The recipes are meticulous and so convincingly put forth that the reader wouldn't even think about taking a short-cut or substituting an ingredient -- you know that Julie knows best. The results, in every recipe I've tried, are spectacular. (Particularly the splendid recipes for chicken braised with spices.) The complex flavors and heady aromas delight the senses long after the guests have left and the dishes are washed.
