5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Better Ones, March 20, 2006

By	keep_shining (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews

I bought this book at Costco not really knowing a lot about cooking Indian food, or whether or not this book was even any good. I got it prior to doing any research on all the available Indian cookbooks out there. Just to compare this cookbook with others, I decided to check out some other Indian cookbooks from the library. I checked out 2 Madhur Jaffrey cookbooks, one by Madhu Gadia (New Indian Home Cooking), and Lord Krishna's "The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking." Believe it or not, despite the good reviews with all those other cookbooks, I have found "Food of India" to be the most enjoyable, and the food being the most flavorful. I even did research on the people who provided the recipes in this book and found them to be well known Indian chefs. You will not be disappointed with this cookbook. The recipes are definitely authentic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising find in the Costco aisles, January 18, 2009

By	Erinn M. Streeter (TLH, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I, too, found this book on a table in Costco, and was immediately taken with it. The photography is lovely; the book includes a preface outlining the history of food, with regional details of interest; the recipes are intriguing and seem like honest renderings of how authentic Indian food is prepared.

I imagine it sells well at its list price (when it's in stock), so for only $[...], it's worth considering when next you're at Costco.
