Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I chose this book among others simply because It has the nutritional information for every recipe . But again , the chutneys and sauces dont have the calorific breakdown.
Moving on to the recipes , being an Indian myself I know how indian food is supposed to taste .. and this book does not reach anywhere near it. Its been COMPLETELY AMERICANIZED .
Also simply adding a pinch of "garam masala" to american soups and italian pasta dont turn the soups into "authentic Indian cuisine "!!!! thats an insult to the readers intelligence.
when I saw the title , I expected a book which would help me cook indian cuisine with the grains and greens available in the US and offer good subsitutions for many vegetables that are not widely available here. and this book completely failed in that respect. Quite a number of the recipes are hashed up new world recipes with a pinch of curry powder thrown in to make them "indian".
If you are looking for a good indian cookbook with AUTHENTIC Indian recipes , this would be a bad investment. If there was a system of negative rating , I would surely give that to this book.
The only book I have liked so far is Julie Sahni's " Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking " and I am still looking for something better.
