Surprisingly detailed,
By C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food India (Paperback)
I can't remember why I picked up this book but after purchasing it I was surprised at how good it was. It is not a cookbook, by any means, although it does contain a few pretty good recipes. Rather, it is a pocket size guide to Indian cuisine which, despite being so small, it is packed with useful information. There is a good overview of the different regional cuisines, information on customs and places to eat, and details on lots of common Indian foodstuffs. There is also a phrasebook at the end which, although really not that useful as guide to conversation, does provide a translation of foodstuff names in Hindi, Assamese, Bengali,Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil and Telegu. The book is worth the price for that little feature alone.

very helpful travel guide,
By Julie L. Connors - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food India (Paperback)
before going to india, i was only familiar with a few indian dishes. i purchased this book because i wanted to learn more about indian food so that i could fully enjoy the cusine on my trip. i found this book helpful in describing different foods, and helped me be less aprehensive in trying something i knew nothing about. this is a great guide for anyone traveling to india who would like to know more about what they are going to be eating. it's also a great guide for any non-traveler looking to expand their culinary experiences in their own city.

Great Guide to a great cuisine,
By Shweta Kothari - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lonely Planet World Food India (Paperback)
Yummy! A very detailed book with tips and insight into the colorful cuisine of India. A must if travelling to India. We are not aware of the vastness of the cuisine in India. There is so much to taste and smell besides Curries. If you're a food junkie, it is a must.
