review 1: This is a tome almost overwhelming in its choices and variations.Like most cookbooks on Indian cuisine, these recipes are not always quick fixes, though there are ways to further simplify them if you just want an echo of the taste and aren't worried about "authenticity."Ingredients may be problematic for some, but again this isn't the go-to for a rushed weeknight recipes thrown together from the typical supermarket or pantry ingredients.But, if you are looking to begin exploring the flavors of Indian food, this is a good a place as any to start.
review 2: If I had to live off of one cookbook forever, this might very well be it.Two small gripes: I'm never a fan of recipes which have you make a big batch of some spice blend or paste, and then each recipe only cal... morels for a teaspoon or two of said blend. And this cookbook has like twenty different blends (or more). There's no way someone is going to have all those sitting in the fridge at any given time, especially since some only show up in one or two of the 660 recipes. A lot of them you can fudge, though (like, using your own blend of garam masala for everything rather than mixing up the numerous different garam masalas required here and keeping them all on hand).Also, Iyer is addicted to the word 'addictive'. Nevertheless. less
