 Excellent! February 1, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
One of my favourite books! This book contains numerous exotic dishes & flavour combinations from all over the globe; don't expect to find the fodder your served in your local curry house in here (although there are a few old favourites) but experience some really interesting new flavours with lots of contrast. The recipes are fairly complicated & involve a fair bit of prep & cooking time but instructions are very easy to follow & the end results well worth the effort! Not a cheap book but money well spent.
Just can't put it down! January 22, 2007

Amazing!
It's all in this book. From what the spices are to how to handle them. The origins and history of the recipes is an absolute bonus. Everything I've tried has worked really well. Curries, sauces, pastes and powders. I've learned and enjoyed so much. Delicious......
Simply can't praise this book high enough.
If you enjoy using and eating spices this is THE one to get.
perfect curry every time November 18, 2006

These are excellent recipes and all quite simple to cook. I was given this book as a Christmas present and have tried about 20 recipes so far. Each one has been delicious. You will need to have quite a large stock of special Indian ingredients but many are very simple such as the kidney bean curry. A must for anyone who like cooking curries!

Only two recipes worked but so many have been complete disasters. I would not recommend this book.
A Wonderful Cultural Discovery February 14, 2006

I am lucky to find this book almost brand new from a second hand book cart in Karachi for $3 dollars. Well this is the first success with this book. Then a series of successes which i owe to Madhur and this book. The cooking tehniques in this book are nothing new for me being a Pakistani, but history, narrative and description are totally awesome and of course a lot of receipie which i have never yet tried out were a great addition on our dining table. My household is frequently visited by gests from West , and for them Indian/Pakistani food are amazing, shocking, pleasing and a discovery. With this book one can really make the meal times and guest times a great cutltural experience. I am glad that it is not one of those dumb cook books which dumps the recepie and never gives any history or cultural insignts whereas food is a significant part of any cutlture and traditon. Many thanks Madhur for this book. Farah
