2.0 out of 5 stars Clever title, wretched recipies, Mar 21 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Curries Without Worries: An Introduction To Indian Cuisine (Paperback)

I enjoy preparing (and eating) Indian food. Consequently, I have a goodly number of Indian cook books. Some of them I use frequently, some seldom. After several real disasters, I never use this book anymore.

Despite the clever title, the recipies in this book have proven to entirely unsatisfactory. For one thing, there is an excessive use of cayenne pepper in many of the recipies. I find that the amount of ghee called for is also excessive. This is not subtle, flavorful seasoning.

There are now a number of excellent Indian cookbooks out there, this certainly isn't one of them.

This review is from: Curries Without Worries: An Introduction To Indian Cuisine (Paperback)

I found the recipes to be the perfect blend of ease without sacrificing the authenciticy of the flavors. I also enjoy the variety in the book because it contains recipes from the diferent regions of India. Using the many ingredients easily available at the supermarket, adds to the ease of using this book. I use the book frequently and know that if followed correctly, the recipes turn out delicious.

2.0 out of 5 stars Be Warned, Dec 19 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Curries Without Worries: An Introduction To Indian Cuisine (Paperback)

I have made some very good things with this book but others are just flat out awful. The worst example was a recipie that actually called for 2 Tablespoons of cayenne pepper and as a result was absolutely inedible! (Note I have the first edition so hopefully these mistakes have been corrected for this printing).
