5.0 out of 5 stars Ranks as one of the best cook books I have read, January 21, 2001

By A Customer

I am not a vegetarian. However, this book by Kurma Dasa has altered my preconceptions of vegetarianism.

Kurma has done his research. He not only shows you how to cook but shows you how to blend the spices for the authentic Indian taste. It has a wealth of information even for folks who might think they know what is Indian cooking. The glossary with photos of spices and herbs will help those who don't know how to navigate their way through Asian grocery stores.

The book concentrates mostly on Indian vegetarian recipes but has many dishes from other parts of the world as well. One of the surprise packages in the book is "Juicy curd steak". Try it, it's good. Try 'em all, you'll embark on a saporific journey of ethereal proportions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vegetarian cooking - Indian mostly., June 11, 2000

By A Customer

I received this cookbook as a wedding gift in my hometown of Melbourne, Aust. I have tried most of the recipies in the book and I was pleasantly surprized how authentic most of the recipies were! Vegetarians will love this book.

Outstanding vegetarian recipes.
We are Indian and we find these recipes better than
any even the traditional recipes we have.
Our life is changed with this book (and there is another book by Kurma Dasa)
