The number and variety of recipes in this cookbook are rather overwhelming.

[Denise Spicer · Rating 3 out of 5]

This cookbook contains recipes and information on food in India and Far East. The author gives chapters on equipment and techniques as well as some photos to illustrate. Also includes some menu ideas, glossary, and index.

I like a recipe book with pictures of each dish. It's just a must for me, so I was disappointed on that front.
Unfortunately for me there is very VERY little in here for vegetarians, even 95% of the vegetable dishes are based on meat or covered in fish or oyster sauce. There was only one recipe in this book that tempted me, and it was a dessert, a very simple dessert.
However, I'm sure if you're a meat-eater, you might find more to interest you than I did.

Not my favorite of Jaffrey's books--I like her more vegetarian-centric ones, but the recipes I have made have been good. I especially liked the Indian Rice Pudding--recipe and pictures here: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/20...
