Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am not the most perfect person in the world but I believe in integrity. If you say that a book is whatever it is, that is what I expect and why I spent my money for it. This book is a dissappointment because the title is misleading...in fact, the whole premise of the book is untruthful. The book raves about the fact that it has no less than 100 recipes that have SIX ingredients or less. The truth is that the vast majority of recipes have 8 ingredients or MORE. I tried very hard to reconcile the title with what I was seeing. I thought to myself, "Well, it's an interesting book...a beautiful book...the recipes are nice..." I also tried to examine the recipes for some reason as to why most of the recipes were more than 6 ingredients. "Maybe she doesn't consider salt an ingredient....maybe she only means spices." No dice.
What I realized is that I'd purchased a book that was deceitfully misguiding me into believing that I would be able to produce Indian dishes in 6 ingredients or less than blatantly defied it's own premise.
As for the actual content, I think the book is nice enough although there are better books with better recipes, more variety of recipes and greater variety of options within each recipe catagory. I already several books on Indian cooking that far exceed the quality, both in design and content, of this book and there are others that I have not yet purchased but reviewed that are better still. Therefore, my only reason for buying it is the reason I will be returning it. I bought Indian in 6 because the book promised 100 or so recipes with 6 ingredients or less. To date, I have only found 5 recipes (although there may be more) that meet this claim and I feel betrayed. So back it goes. Very simply.
