As an Indian American brought up here, it's a wonderful resource to have in my young kitchen! This is a great gift to buy any twenty-something. A great graduation, housewarming, or just any-day gift! Thanks Monica for demystifying Indian cooking tastily!

Fresh, fast, flavorful recipes,

This review is from: The Spice Is Right: Easy Indian Cooking for Today (Paperback)
I checked this out of the library, and after one read went out and bought a copy. I have enjoyed this cookbook immensely. I like Indian food but have found that many Indian cookbooks are sticklers for authenticity to the point of hours of work, or all the recipes begin to taste the same. These recipes are full of flavor, and many can be prepared with ingredients available at the local supermarket. Many of the recipes are quick - Ms. Bhide has even added recipes for using leftovers. These are a boon when I come home at the end of the day and want to throw something together. The recipes in this book are organized into menus, so a novice can try one or two from a section, and perhaps add more later on. I have mixed and matched from different menus as well with success. Some recommended recipes; Chicken with Fenugreek, Whisky Fish, Turnip Treats, and Coriander Layered Potatoes.

Indian Cooking Meets the Western Kitchen,
By Ronda Carnicelli (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Spice Is Right: Easy Indian Cooking for Today (Paperback)
The Spice is Right: Easy Indian Cooking for Today is a perfect cookbook for home cooks that want to introduce elements of Indian cooking and cuisine into their established American fare. If you are looking for a cookbook that will recreate the traditional Indian dishes offered at an authentic Indian restaurant, you find that here. Instead, dishes like hummus and tandoori chicken get a treatment that makes them simple to make in a modern Western kitchen. In addition, traditional Western dishes like chex mix and coleslaw get Indian makeovers that are sure to become welcomed additions to your menus. With a blend of time-tested cooking approaches and a light and friendly attitude, The Spice is Right is a great cookbook for anyone wishing to add a taste of India to their kitchen routine. It encourages creativity but gives you just enough guidance to make the experience refreshing and fun. It's a welcomed addition to any outgoing home chef's cookbook collection.
