This review is from: The Best of Lord Krishna's Cuisine: 172 Recipes from the Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking (Paperback)

I originally bought this book at Govinda's, a Hare Krishna restaurant in downtown Prague, Czech Republic. I had spent a semester abroad and learned the joys of Indian food from Govinda's. On their shelf was this book, and it was the book that closest fit the food I had been eating there for the last four months. Now that I am back home in the states, I always get a taste of Govinda's when I cook one of the many true Indian dishes such as Sesame Yogurt Potatoes or Mung Dal soup with tomatoes. Here are a few suggestions if thinking about buying this book: make sure you have availability to unique, ethnic grocery stores or you can find close substitutes because many foods and spices used in this book are very unique. In addition, each recipes calls for many many ingredients so don't get this book if you are hoping to make quick, painless Indian meals. Look elsewhere. Having said that, if you want true cuisine of India, this is the book.
