A feast for your belly but a bigger feast for your eyes
A truly remarkable book , inspire of growing up in India I have almost no exposure to the immense variety of delectable highlighted in this book. Now thanks to this wonderful book, I have added two more items to my bucket list , travel round India in trains and taste these delicacies and visit Nashville to taste Indian inspired cuisines along with Indian micro brews

I'm not sure this is a great reason for rating a cookbook 4 stars but I just really liked the stories that went with each recipe and the descriptions of each region. It was a little bit like a travelogue and also the author really loves her country (and the food, that was super obvious), which came across nicely.
I don't really want to cook Indian street food, I fortunately live in an area with an abundance of Indian restaurants (mostly Punjab influenced) and don't need to cook it at home. But it was very interesting to read about the different foods and where they are from and what they are made of, it should hopefully make it easier to order next time I go out for lunch. Because I still have to google half the menu to figure out what I want.

This is now one of my favourite cookbooks! The writing style is so engaging and the recipes are laid out so neatly that I want to go out and buy a copy for myself and presents.
The authors write about each area of India, explaining their experience with each dishes, transporting you the reader to each locale, eating each delicious dish with them

Gorgeous cookbook! I especially loved the memoir sections. I'm still a bit hesitant to try a recipe that has so many unfamiliar ingredients. I wondered if I needed more handholding or if I need to just get over it and jump in. It's mouthwatering just to page through!
