Essentially the same as "the food of india",
This review is from: Authentic Recipes from India (Authentic Recipes Series) (Hardcover)
If you like periplus cookbooks and already own "the food of" version of this book, then reconsider buying this one. The new "authentic recipes from" series is just a rehash of the "food of series" with a few subtle changes such as relacing obscure recipes with more recognisable ones, bigger font and format, less on the history and some updated pictures. Overall I kind of like the recipes in the new books more as there is less filler and odd recipes, but I do like the layout and format of the older hardcover "food of" books. So if you own "the food of" and want to get this book, be prepared to sell it off as you will only end up doubling up 90% of recipes between the 2.

This review is from: Authentic Recipes from India (Authentic Recipes Series) (Hardcover)
This was chosen as a present for a curry loving friend. He wanted an authentic Indian cookbook and this seems to fit the bill. Easy recipes but authentically Indian. I think he will be pleased with it.

This review is from: Authentic Recipes from India (Authentic Recipes Series) (Hardcover)
This is another terrific production from the 'Authentic Recipes' series. This particular volume is especially good for novices and those who wish to produce some of the dishes they have experienced in Indian restaurants. Quite a few of the recipes are tried and true favorites but there are also quite a number of special dishes going well beyond the ordinary. The introductory essays at the beginning are well written and the section on pickles and chutneys is very good indeed. I especially enjoy the photography. Indeed, some of the pictures are amongst the most artistically composed I have seen in a cookery book.
