A Gorgeous Book!
July 12 2004
Format:Paperback
A beautifully written book 'Samayal' is one of my favorite buys. My husband is a lover of authentic south indian dishes and this book has it all. I have tried out a few dishes and they turn out just fine. For the calorie conscious there is a chart drawn out for each recipe!
The book is indeed a great buy!

A highly recommended cookbook!
April 21 2004
Format:Paperback
I had the honour of meeting up the author at a recently organised food festival ('Yelai Sappadu') at 'The Park' - Chennai and getting an autographed copy of her book. She prepared delicious recipes from her cookbook 'Samayal'.
She carefully chose recipes that were not normally served in any restaurants or rather prepared only in the private ambience of Iyer households! I would say that the festival was a huge success as we all enjoyed the delicious platters that Ms. Varadarajan prepared for us.
This is a gourmet cookbook that I would recommend to any person interested in this healthy diet. Congrats Ms. Varadarajan!

A Gourmet Cuisine Simplified!
April 4 2004
Format:Paperback
The author has brought out the best facets of a healthy cooking that is not much known in these parts. Every dish is authentic and requires no hardship in learning. They taste delicious when prepared. A balanced eating of this form of food is sufficient to give us a nutritious well regulated protein rich diet.
This is the kind of food that my grandmom used to talk about. I do wish she was alive today. I would have shown her my copy of 'Samayal'I really loved this book which is well worth the price for the near 200 recipes that Viji Varadarajan has so well dealt with!
