Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was initially quite pleased with this cookbook. I was new to Indian cooking and this had a multitude of recipes with well done phototgraphs. After trying a number of the recipes, however, I found the dishes a little lacking in depth. I think that part of this comes from the fact that some of the recipes in this book call for pastes rather than the constituent spices. In my opinion, using a paste is like using a jarred sauce - it is a shortcut that may be acceptable as a time-saver, but shouldn't be called for in a proper cookbook. I am still using this as a reference book of sorts, but now look online at other recipes for the same dish in order to ensure that I prepare the dish properly with the individual spices rather than with a paste. I like this book as a starting point, but have to question a bit the authenticity of the recipes.
