A book to drool through,
By C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Savoring India (Hardcover)
For real food lovers, it is pretty hard to go wrong with Williams-Sonoma publications. The photography in this book is absolutely gorgeous; great pictures of the food and also of India and its people. My only quibble with this otherwise delightful book is that a couple of recipes show the food, give clear,concise instructions for preparing it, then leave the reader wondering how the dish might be eaten, either as a stand alone snack type dish, or else integrated, in some fashion, into a larger meal. Still, that occurred only in a few places and I would not let such a tiny criticism stand in the way of my enjoyment of this great publication. It is the sort of book that would make a terrific gift for anyone who loves food.

Exquisite,
By A Customer
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Savoring India (Hardcover)
This book is almost too beautiful for words and as one other reviewer mentioned it is a great introduction to the culture of Indian food. Try hot, freshly made chapatis with a generous helping of lemon pickle, simple and delicious. Of course, there is more to these culinary traditions than can be fit in one book. That is why you should buy Julie Sahni's other books as well! As for the reviewer with the maple syrup complaint. First off, Vindaloo is not a traditional North Indian dish, it's pure Southwestern Indian. A dish from the Portuguese Catholics of Goa. Second, maple syrup makes an excellent substitute for the raw Indian sugar traditionally used. So it creates authentic flavor with a not so authentic ingredient.

A great one for vegetarians!!,
This review is from: Williams-Sonoma Savoring India (Hardcover)
Not only is this book beautifully photographed, but it has the most luscious recipies! If you are a lover of indian cuisine, this book is a MUST for your collection. Most of the indian cookbooks I have seen I would only consider making 1/2 to 3/4 of the recipies offered. In this book, I would will make most of them. If you're a vegetarian like me, this books offers mostly all vegetarian recipies. Even the meat recipies, which are few can be altered to accomodate tofu or tempeh, which is what I have done. It's really all about those incredible spice mixtures! As a bonus, Savoring India gives insight into the origins of indian spices and folklore. This is one of my favorite cookbooks by far!
