Prospective purchasers should read the whole review,

Ce commentaire est de: Bengali Cooking (Paperback)
This is not a bad little book for those who enjoy reading about food and the cultural aspects of a cuisine. However, those who are simply looking for a Bengali cookbook will be disappointed. The book does contain recipes but there are not very many and they are interspersed amongst the textual material that makes up the bulk of the book. The format of the recipes are not what most people will expect, as they do not follow the standard, ingredient list followed by instructions format, but rather are the integrated style one finds in much older cookery books. I rather like that myself but most will not appreciate it. This is a nice book for what it is but it is not quite what one might expect from the title.

Very authentic!,

Ce commentaire est de: Bengali Cooking (Paperback)
I bought this book a few years ago (when it was first published) in Calcutta and it is one of my prized cookbooks. I use it again and again. I will admit, it's not for people who like spooned and measured recipes. Being from Bengal, I have eaten most of the dishes in the book, the recipies are very authentic, just like my mashima (aunt) would make them (especially the shorshe illish (hilsa fish in mustard sauce). Yum!!

Delightful,

I've been away from my homeland of Bengal for years and this book brings back so many memories of forgotten foods, the seasons, the festivals, the general Bengali lifestyle. It's the best "spur-of-the-moment" purchase I've made in a long time!
