4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for a beginner.,
By Jennifer Balbale (Boston, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quick & Easy Indian Cooking (Paperback)
This book is a great introduction to Indian cooking. First of all, I wanted to address a previous review. Someone posted that they hated this book. They blatantly stated that they didn't even try the recipes. Don't be swayed by their review this book is great. Think of this book as a shorthand guide to Indian cooking. I married an Indian, and I wanted to cook him Indian food but did not have the slightest idea on the style and attitude towards Indian cooking. I was mostly concerned with it's authentic taste. This was the first book I used to teach myself Indian cooking. You will find curries, kebabs, pooris, chutneys, or anything else relevant to an Indian dinner. She carefully describes how to find scarce items with a wonderful glossary in back. She will teach you what is imperative to have and what combinations make the meal seamless. The tastes are definitely pleasing. What's even more pleasing? To hear my husband tell his brother and his friends that, "We are eating saag gosht with pooris tonite," and to hear them reply with, "You are so lucky." As many of his Indian friends are bachelors busy with the school books, they miss the taste of India made at home. So what have we learned today, boys and girls? 1)This book is for beginners, however, very authentic. 2) You can't go wrong with Madhur Jaffrey. 3)Ignore the person who wrote that bad review. Enjoy!

This review is from: Quick & Easy Indian Cooking (Paperback)
Someone should have warned me that you need a pressure cooker to make most of the recipes in this cookbook. So I'm writing this to warn other potential buyers. Unless you have one, don't bother buying this book. OTOH, if you do, I am selling mine and it's in perfect condition.

so-so recipes for home cooks,
By Thea J. Willgress "www.sweetthea.com" (Surrey BC) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Quick & Easy Indian Cooking (Paperback)
I really enjoy Indian food, but this book has never really tickled my fancy. It has quite a few recipes, 70 of which can be made in half an hour or less; but I prefer a cookbook by "Women's Weekly" that covers the same cuisine. Some of the recipes are just too americanized - garlic masala omelet? - for my taste, but judging by its popularity - now in its 10th printing - this book does make reasonable Indian food possible for home cooks wanting to expand their range.
For someone new to Indian cooking, it does have one excellent feature - clear english translations of popular dishes. 'Saag bhaji' can look intimidating on the menu at an Indian restaurant, but when you know it is simply 'spinach with ginger and green chilies' it is easier to choose. An acceptable book for a home kitchen.
