Loading... Indian Home Cooking: A Fresh Introduction to Indian Food, with More Than…by Suvir Saran
None. Great introduction to Indian cooking. Easy to follow recipes with clear directions take the fear factor out of Indian cooking. Nice photographs but I would have preferred a photo of each recipe. With a cuisine that I am not entirely comfortable with yet it makes it easier for me if I have a reference photo to look at. The author gives easily accessible substitutions for hard(er) to find ingredients. (  ) ilefkowitz | Apr 4, 2013 |  This is a really good introduction to making Indian food. Mindy, if you're going to be a stay at home mom you might as well learn to cook something good and these recipes are the easiest Indian ones I've seen. ( ) E.J | Apr 3, 2013 | excellent cookbook. I have so far made three of the recipes and all have turned out very well. You will need to buy many good quality spices to use this book. But once you've done that (and I'm going to guess it cost me about $30) you have them for a long time and you can so expand your cooking repertoire. This book is perfect for vegetarians--even the meat recipes are very easily adapted. And you will discover that most of the work of Indian cooking involves getting the spices ready and adding them in the correct order. Most recipes only use a few ingredients other than spices. So, while Indian food may seem challenging it is actually simpler than a lot of other cuisines. Also, the dishes in this book are not the heavy, oil-laden dishes you would find in most Indian restaurants in America. The Indian family I work for recommended this book, and they find most Indian restaurants in the area to be too unhealthy. One thing to note about the recipes, the author goes a little crazy with the cardamom pods. I would recommend cutting the amounts down to a third. ( ) sumariotter | Nov 2, 2011 | Easy recipes. ( ) mumbaichic | Oct 11, 2007 | This is a fabulous cookbook; well organized into chapters by food type and within chapters by difficulty. Each recipe includes a large photo and simple instructions. Suvir has written essays to describe his philosophy about food and eating as well as little stories about the genesis of the recipes. I will admit to some bias because I recently took a cooking class from Suvir and found him to be charming in person as well as knowledgeable and generous with his advice and encouragement. Nevertheless, I recommend this cookbook for those who want to cook healthy, interesting food at home or to those who just want to look at great photos of yummy inspiration. pilgrimtinker | Dec 26, 2006 | no reviews | add a review
