Book Description
From Library Journal
Indian food is becoming more popular in this country, and several good recent cookbooks have revealed just how diverse this cuisine is. Panjabi, who lives in Bombay and has traveled extensively throughout India, has written a
remarkable book. She is obviously knowledgeable about food, and her excellent introduction blends history, geography, and the philosophy of Indian cuisine with a lovingly detailed, illustrated guide to ingredients and techniques. The curries themselves,
each accompanied by a full-page color photograph, show how different these dishes can be, and the author's headnotes provide excellent background on the various regional cuisines. The one serious drawback of this beautiful book is that it was originally
published in England; although it has been Americanized, a three-line note on the acknowledgments page indicates that all cup measures refer to a seven-ounce cup?cooks beware! [HomeStyle Bks. alternate.]
