Beyond Brilliant: Inspired Indian Cooking

I’d always wanted to cook restaurant quality Indian food. It’s hard work but the book is fantastic and tells you how to prepare the ingredients and has loads of wonderful dishes from starts to mains to desserts. I cooked Chicken tikka masala, chicken korai and Bombay aloo. All tasted fantastic!

A wonderful book of Indian culinary delights from Dipna at the Brilliant restaurant in Southall. We have visited the restaurant many times before and then Dipna started doing cookery classes. I attended many courses and learnt so much and have passed recipes onto my son in Australia. I recently purchased my second book and posted it to him as he has been enjoying developing his repertoire. The recipes are easy to follow with the spices grouped together and I love all the illustrations and the story behind the wonderful Anand family.

Saw Dipna on TV recently again and, liking Indian cooking, thought I would purchase both her books. They arrived on time and with a personal greeting in both. I was immediately looking through them to decide which recipes I would be making first. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to cook their own Indian food.

I lovely presented book, The back ground history is interesting and loved Shanks wedding chapter. The recipes are well laid out and easy to follow a very handy chapter explaining about the different spices and health benefits, It is a cook book but could be classed as a coffee table book, Highly recommended.

sometimes confused for instance garam masala tells ingredients but not quantities

The Chicken Masala recipe in this book is so easy and the food is as good as any that ibhave eaten in a restaurant....more recipes please Dipna

Fabulous recipes, I just love this book. So easy to follow. Food is exquisite in flavour.

Brilliant book. Asian cooking is so hard to get right. This is the perfect answer. The aroma, the taste, with simplicity of everything it takes to make meals as good as it looks. I Love My spicy food. No more take aways for me
