'Wonderful， vibrant。。。deeply personal food， alive and authentic - the best sort - and， frankly， I want to cook everything in this book' Nigella Lawson

Bookmarked a bunch， especially from the bread section but all over really。Still successfully soaking rice before cooking， I‘ll always be grateful to her for harping on about that。

The papdi chaat salad is one of the easiest and most flavorful things to make。 I hate cooking and this makes me look like a goddess in the kitchen。
Sarah

A rare cookbook where I might actually make decent use of the dessert chapter。

Got this for my birthday， browsed through and cooked a number of the dishes。 I like the new recipes， the ideas， the tastes and the family context。 You need to be a flexible cook。 My experience so far is that cooking times can be way off。 No issue if you are used to experimenting。

Beside the hardcore colonialist vibes I get from the book cover， the recipes are lovely！ Especially the 100-clove garlic curry 🧄

This is hands down the best cookbook I've ever seen。 The recipes are easy and everything I've tried so far tastes amazing。 I got it for Christmas 2019 and so far （November 2020） I have cooked something from it at least twice a week since I got it。 I'm not exaggerating， this book is absolutely great。 This is hands down the best cookbook I've ever seen。 The recipes are easy and everything I've tried so far tastes amazing。 I got it for Christmas 2019 and so far （November 2020） I have cooked something from it at least twice a week since I got it。 I'm not exaggerating， this book is absolutely great。 。。。more

Excellent cookbook with easy-to-follow directions and beautiful photographs。 I've made the chicken tikka， Mom's chicken curry， coconut tamarind curry， naan， roti and chapati and they've all turned out pretty well。 I'm a novice home cook and Sodha's recipes were simple enough for me to follow。 Excellent cookbook with easy-to-follow directions and beautiful photographs。 I've made the chicken tikka， Mom's chicken curry， coconut tamarind curry， naan， roti and chapati and they've all turned out pretty well。 I'm a novice home cook and Sodha's recipes were simple enough for me to follow。 。。。more

Well-written， easy to follow recipes。 I’ve not been disappointed by any recipe in this book。 The only thing that has limited my enjoyment is the local availability of some of the ingredients。

Cookbook。 We use this book all of the time。 Basic recipes and explanations， not complicated。 Nice photography。 There is a second edition available now， I believe it is a reprint of an earlier book。

I loved this indian cookbook。 Recipes are achievable。 We tried the "Corn Cobs with Chilli Garlic Butter" searing the corns on the barbecue。 It was the tastiest corn cob recipe I have tried。 It was also a very easy recipe to make。We served it with Sausages and mash。 Some of the recipes can be served with a non-indian meal。 I loved this indian cookbook。 Recipes are achievable。 We tried the "Corn Cobs with Chilli Garlic Butter" searing the corns on the barbecue。 It was the tastiest corn cob recipe I have tried。 It was also a very easy recipe to make。We served it with Sausages and mash。 Some of the recipes can be served with a non-indian meal。 。。。more

Absolutely fantastic cookbook。 Recipes are well-chosen， easy to follow， and delicious。 The author includes a ton of information on ingredients， spices， even wine pairings and damage control。 Everything I've made from here has turned out beautifully， and a few are already regular features。 My personal favorite is probably the spring vegetable curry， but I haven't tried any of the desserts yet so that could change。 Recommended for anyone who loves Indian food， including beginners。 Absolutely fantastic cookbook。 Recipes are well-chosen， easy to follow， and delicious。 The author includes a ton of information on ingredients， spices， even wine pairings and damage control。 Everything I've made from here has turned out beautifully， and a few are already regular features。 My personal favorite is probably the spring vegetable curry， but I haven't tried any of the desserts yet so that could change。 Recommended for anyone who loves Indian food， including beginners。 。。。more

I liked the simplicity of most of the recipes with some interesting twists to some classic recipes coming from the author's family history of living in Uganda and the UK。 like most uk cookbooks there is a lot more use of wt in measurements which if you don't have a kitchen scale requires some work converting。 I liked the simplicity of most of the recipes with some interesting twists to some classic recipes coming from the author's family history of living in Uganda and the UK。 like most uk cookbooks there is a lot more use of wt in measurements which if you don't have a kitchen scale requires some work converting。 。。。more

Cannot wait to cookRich family stories and wonderfully presented recipes。 Solid information on every spice as well as ingredients。 Clear instructions。 She tells you outright if the dish is easy， labor intensive or complicated-but-crazy-Good。

This James Beard award-winning cookbook was a joy to read through。 Most of the recipes have been passed down through the family， and Sodha describes the recipes with a compelling warmth。 The recipes I’ve tried have been clear， well-tested，and tasty。

I was really late in discovering this book 。 It should be for everyone interested in dipping into Indian cooking for the first time。 With a lot of recipe books I end up making one or two items， but with this I have made well over 75% of them。 Recipes are easy to follow and tasty- especially the vegetarian options。 Most of the recipes can be made in 30mins and you don’t need a host of specialist ingredients。 Looking forward to get Meera’s second book “Fresh”
