"India Cookbook, above all, is an inspiration and a testament to the glory of Indian cooking in all its incarnations. It's a call to the kitchen." (Saveur )
Product Description
India: The Cookbook is the first comprehensive guide to Indian cooking, with over 1,000 recipes covering every aspect of India's rich and colourful culinary heritage. Unlike many other Indian cookbooks, it is written by an Indian culinary academic and cookbook author who lives and works in Delhi, and the recipes are a true reflection of how traditional dishes are really cooked all over India. They have been carefully edited to ensure that they are simple to follow and achievable in western kitchens, with detailed information about authentic cooking utensils and ingredients. Indian food has been hugely popular in the UK for many years, and the appetite for Indian food shows no sign of diminishing. Now, for the first time, a definitive, wide-ranging and authoritative book on authentic Indian food is available, making it simple to prepare your favourite Indian dishes at home, alongside less well-known dishes such as bataer masalydaar (marinated quails cooked with almonds, chillies and green cardamom), or sambharachi kodi (Goan prawn curry with coconut and tamarind). The comprehensive chapters on breads, pickles, spice pastes and chutneys contain a wide variety of recipes rarely seen in Indian cookbooks, such as bagarkhani roti (a rich sweet bread with raisins, cardamom and poppy seeds) and tamatar ka achar (tomato and mustard-seed pickle). India: The Cookbook is the only book on Indian food you'll ever need.

Great!,
Ce commentaire est de: India: The Cookbook (Hardcover)
I ordered "India the cookbook" after looking through it in a store. I was really impressed as to the scope of dishes covered. A lot of the dishes seem really simple to prepare once you have purchased the proper spices.The book is well organized by: Spice mixtures, pickles chutneys raitas, snacks and appetizers, vegetables, fish and seafood, meat, pulses, breads,rice, desserts, drinks. There is even a section of recipes from contemporary restaurants located outside India. Each recipe has an Indian name and English translation, key to a photograph, spiciness guide, region of origin. Each recipe gives measurements for ingredients in grams, ounces, cups. There are lots of juicy photographs in colour plates that show you what the dishes should look like. The printed pages of this book are beautifully coloured and are of a lightweight but strong paper printed and bound in Italy. There is a brief introduction about Indian cooking, how to eat Indian meals, geographic regions. I have successfully cooked Indian food before and am excited to expand my repertoire. I would recommend this book to people who have previous cooking knowledge.

What a fabulous book...I have a small collection of about 65 Indian Cookbooks, but it's true what it says on the cover of 'India Cookbook' ~ It really is "The Only Book On Indian Food You'll Ever Need" and had I bought this one first, my collection might have been reduced to this one book.The only fault I found is that it does not have 960 pages as it states in the 'description', nor does it weigh 1.6kg ~ it actually has 815 pages (including the index) and weighs 1.5kg (the weight is written on the book cover). The difference in weight may explain the missing pages...however, the ISBN # is the same. hmmm The bottom line is, if you're interested in cooking the food of India, buy this book!!! BTW ~ it comes sealed in plastic, in a cloth bag that has the same design as the book cover...so cute!!

I have not had an opportunity to actually cook any of the recipes out of this book yet, but I was a little disappointed with the feel of the pages (the type of paper they used), the lack of pictures and the low quality of the pictures that were in the book. Nice packaging, nice cover. I will see what happens when I cook the recipes. I cook a lot of Indian food and visit many restaurants in the Calgary area and I have served with the Gurkhas where my staple diet was Curry so I know a flavourful good curry when I taste one. The most disappointing aspect was the choice of paper for the inside pages.
