Now this is authentic Indian food - Glad it's back in print,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flavors of India: Recipes from Vegetarian Hindu Cuisine (Paperback)
Most food lovers aren't aware of the regional variety and vast differences in India's cuisine. This book, which I first acquired in the 1970's, is superb both in terms of accuracy (duplicating the right flavor) and bringing lesser-known items to the Westerner's table, less rich and more balanced nutritionally. Try things you haven't heard of, like the yogurt soup (Kadi) or if you never liked Okra, the recipe with tumeric, mustard seeds and yogurt may convert you... And you don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy it

The Real Deal,
By E. Christopher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flavors of India: Recipes from Vegetarian Hindu Cuisine (Paperback)
Background: I grew up eating Indian vegetarian food. Sometimes it was good, sometimes mediocre, occassionally fantastic. I had kichadi for breakfast and dal-chawal-roti-sabji for dinner every day except festival days.
Bias: I will admit a bias that I actually met the author; I went to high school with her son and was lucky enough to have dinner at her house once. Review: This is the absolute, number one, best Indian cookbook on the market today. I own most of the big ones and many little ones, and nothing else out there even approaches this book for utility and quality. Most cookbooks offer a good base for a recipe, but you have to make it once and then adjust and improve it. All the recipes in this book are excellent as written; I have not had to modify any of them! There's no padding in this book. She doesn't include every Indian recipe you've ever (and never) heard of, but she does include all the basics you need to eat well every day. This is the only time I have seen okra treated properly in a cookbook, and the recipe for pakora batter is phenomenal. Her style is authentic Gujarati-style cooking. Having spent some time in Gujarat and eaten at many Gujarati houses, I should know. All in all, a highly recommended resource for any kitchen. Having eaten at the author's house, I can attest that her cooking is excellent, authentic Indian vegetarian cusine, and she used the same recipes included in the book. She is the real deal. 42 of 42 people found the following review helpful:

vegetarian delights,
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flavors of India: Recipes from Vegetarian Hindu Cuisine (Paperback)
If you're a vegetarian, a few Indian recipes are a great thing to have in your culinary repertoire, and this book has some tasty and easy to make dishes that are nutritious, aromatic, nice to look at, and even better to eat.Even if you don't like Indian cuisine, you'll get a lot out of the rice and lentil (dal) chapters. It gives a tremendous amount of information on both these items, their many different types, and how to cook them to perfection. The "Dal-Based Dishes" is a superb chapter, and one can even "mix and match" these recipes and come up with a delightful side dish. 33 of 33 people found the following review helpful:

Classic and Delicious,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flavors of India: Recipes from Vegetarian Hindu Cuisine (Paperback)
This is my second edition of Flavors of India. Over the years, I have made nearly all of the recipes and have found them, without exception, to be delicious, usually low in fat, and always very easy for the American cook. Whether you are an expert in cooking Indian foods or just beginning to experiment with this cuisine, you will love this book. It is one I personally could not do without.
