excellent cookbook. I have so far made three of the recipes and all have turned out very well. You will need to buy many good quality spices to use this book. But once you've done that (and I'm going to guess it cost me about $30) you have them for a long time and you can so expand your cooking repertoire. This book is perfect for vegetarians--even the meat recipes are very easily adapted. And you will discover that most of the work of Indian cooking involves getting the spices ready and adding

This book rocks! I love Indian food but have always been a little intimidated by cooking it. This book has both simple and complex recipes, and is very accessible for an American home cook.

Just looking at this book I would have assumed it is a more show than tell cookbook. But, many of the recipes I tried were wonderful.

I don't even really know what most Indian food tastes like, let alone how to make it. But this book is full of authentic Indian recipes. Most of them take a little time to make and all of them will call for ingredients that you don't have in your kitchen, but are available at the regular grocery store. Some recipes we loved, some we didn't, but it was fun to learn an entirely new cuisine. And now my pantry is stocked for the next time I check this out at the library. I recommend the Laoori Chick

We had the good fortune to meet the author and take a cooking course with him at the ICE in NYC. His food is simple, delicious, and fun to make. It's not food you will find in a restaurant, for his recipes are what people prepare at home, which is a very different kind of cooking altogether. If you're looking for yummy stuff but don't need 10,000 steps, this is it.

Most Indian cookbooks you buy in India assume you already know the basics, and most Indian cookbooks published solely in the States insult your immediate taste knowledge. In constrast, this book is accessible, thorough, and beautiful. My favorite recipe is the stir-fried green beans with coconut (and mustard seeds!).

Some Indian cookbooks have recipes so convulted that the preparation of relatively simple meals can sprawl across the afternoon and into the evening. But this book offers simple recipes for complex meals. Beautifully illustrated and clearly written.

Once you get all the spices, the recipes are very easy to follow. I love the layout of the book, in that the first recipes in a section give you and introduction to the tastes and get successively more complex.

This one wasn't quite as fun to read as the Thai cookbook. But the recipes seem much more doable and the ingredients more common to our Southern grocery stores.
