I've made enough recipes from this cookbook to know I love it, but reading it cover to cover and getting more of a feel for the techniques that are consistent is so valuable. And even more enjoyable, getting a feel for the love and joy shared among the Krishna family.

This is such a great cookbook! I love the premise: an ode to Krishna's mother, and to the types of Indian food that an Indian American family would make, with practical substitutions based on available ingredients and relatively quick, easy recipes for a working family. So far all of the recipes I have tried have been delicious: basic dal, sag "paneer" with feta cheese, aloo gobhi, and roasted cauliflower with green pea chutney. Most of the recipes are vegetarian, and a great way to clear out the vegetables in your fridge.

This was a fun cookbook, I loved the little stories and the comic illustrations. I loved the recipes, especially the easy-to-follow charts, though my recipes I think I will use the most were the (numerous) non-Indian inspired ones. The Indian inspired ones were fun as well. 3/5 stars

I am blessed to live in an area that is full of incredible Indian restaurants. In 30-45 minutes, a few pokes at my phone can have an incredible collection of delights at my door. I still get interested in learning about Indian cooking every so often, and still have yet to pull the trigger to trying it on my own. This book is full of fun recipes as well as great stories about the author's family being their very own flavor of American (ugh, I'll show myself out). This book is especially good for vegetarians looking for new dishes to add to their repertoire, and anyone who wants to make "meatless mondays" a regular thing in their lives (if I tried, I'd risk divorce).
