This is the best Indian cook book ever! It’s packed with information, yet not overwhelming. Every recipe is perfect and dances with flavor in your mouth.

A great introduction to the flavor and character of Indian cooking using ingredients that can be easily found in the States.

I could wish there were more illustrations, but overall, I have already recommended this book to others over other books with pretty pictures in them. This book gives explanations lacking in other books. The history behind the food speaks more than just a collection of recipes. I have already made two dishes from this book, and they have turned out well.

Every recipe I’ve made from this book has turned out beautifully. The flavours are complex and the ingredients are easily sourced from Asian grocery stores.
This is one of the few Indian cookbooks that instructs you on making dosa and for this alone it is worth having.
If you love Indian food I would highly recommend this book, even if you are not a vegetarian.

I have just purchased my second and much newer copy of this extraordinary book. My first copy fell apart from use and age. Thirty years ago, when I bought the first edition, I was a neophyte in Indian cookery, vegetarian or otherwise. Thanks to Shanta Sacharoff, I have actually presented dinners to sophisticated Indian guests who literally raved about an American woman creating a 6-course mini-feast that reminded them of home (my greatest compliment). The book is comprehensive, richly but clearly written, bursting with beautiful and attainable recipes, history, lore, encouragement, and wise counsel. (Occasionally I would even take it to bed at night and read it like a novel). I have NEVER even come close to a disappointing result. Vegetarian or not, this is the one Indian cookbook that should be on everyone’s shelf and used until it has worn itself out…then go buy another.
