[NILTON TEIXEIRA · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is one of my favourite cookbook. I have used it several times and tried different dishes. This weekend I was craving for some Indian food, so I picked 5 recipes, the potato cakes with stuffing, the red lentil soup, the Balti ground lamb with potatoes and fenugreek, the lamb with spinach and the beef madras (my favourite). I also prepared a fragrant basmati rice and bought some naan bread and mango chutney. Everything was absolutely delicious and very easy to prepare. Why did I rate 3 stars? Because I have to adjust the spices to my taste, as what they have is not enough. Per example, if a recipe asks for one teaspoon of cumin I would add two or more and so on. But the book is good all recipes are easy to make. Fortunately in Toronto is very easy to find all the ingredients.
