The Indian Vegetarian Paperback – February 13, 1998

This book has wonderful spice mixtures, like masalas, at the beginning. If you cook Indian food, it is these spice mixtures that make it or break it. The ones in this book are really, really good, although you will need access to either a good Indian grocer or online ordering. I have found almost every recipe I have cooked to be very good, so this has become a favorite book for over 20 years. I am now buying it again for my daughter-in-law, as well as another friend, as it really is a treasure for me.

This book is so valuable as a reference that I have copies everywhere I spend time and I have bought copies for my daughter and other dear friends.There is plenty of really useful information about combinations of pulses and vegetables, apart from unusual suggestions for spice blends. Easy to follow recipes encourage experimentaion and the author is a great believer in low-fat cooking, a relatively new trend in Indian cooking. A joy to use.

Like "Flavors of India," which I also have, this book is a good one for the beginner of Indian cooking.

One of the most approachable Indian Vegetarian cookbooks we own. Unfortunate that it's out of print. My first copy is so beat up from constant use, we had to buy a used one! Many alternatives are offered for ingredients that may be hard for non-urban cooks to find.

Ok, I know it's a cook book and not a comic book, but I NEED pictures in my cook books!!I'm going to try a American \ British style indian cook book to see if I have better luck getting the flavors I want.

Such a wonderful book. Excellent vegetarian recipes. I have even purchased this book a gifts.

As advertised

i have used this cookbook for years, and i recently bought it for a friend. the recipes are superb, especially when using fresh spices, and the author's explanations, suggestions and adaptations are inspiring. good stuff!
