PHAIDON The Indian Vegetarian Cookbook

The book is well organized , it has many pictures but the recipes are not easy to do and ingredients not easy to find ! The chapters of the book are organized by ingredients which is a bit original . I love Indian cuisine but I would not suggest to buy this book, there are so many better alternatives!!!

The book

Nice addition to my cookbook collection

I gave this book 5 stars for the following reasons1. It's simple to follow - I am NOT a professional chef. I wanted a book which will be easy to follow and make my dinner delicious2. Ingredients are easily available - If some dish in a book needs me to pluck the third blooming flower from a particular tree found at the foothills of Munnar, I am going to get annoyed. I want to eat food which brings back memories using ingredients I can find in an Indian food store3. Photos - I KNOW how my food should look like - This book guides me step by step till my food looks somewhat like what the author wants it to be

A lot of these ingredients are difficult to find. You also need to combine several recipes to make a meal. I have a partner and two little kids and sadly these recipes are too time consuming for our busy schedule. I enjoyed reading about the different regions of Indian food and what we have made has turned out tasty.

o livro chegou para mim em um plástico, assim que retirei tinha defeito nas orelhas (rasgo).E a primeira página esta com a brochura danificada.Fiquei bem insatisfeita pois ia dar de presente.O conteúdo em si me parece ser bacana e as fotos são lindas.
