Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery [Paperback]

A new edition of an old book, the bestselling Illustrated Indian Cookery, revised and updated with new photographs and a larger format. The old version soon established itself as the best single volume guide to Indian cuisine, covering many recipes from the familiar Rogan Josh, Tandoori Chicken and Naan Bread to the more unusual Salmon Steamed with Mustard Seeds and Tomato and Drunken Orange Slices. There is also a huge amount of information about ingredients, equipment and specialist preparation techniques. Owners of this book's previous incarnation will not be able to resist replacing their old, presumably well-thumbed copies. Readers new to Indian cookery have a treat in store. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

An appearance on BBC2s Friends for Dinner in 2001 and the publication in the same year of her best-selling Foolproof Indian Cookery re-established Madhur as the authority on Indian food. Madhur Jaffreys Indian Cookery is a revised and updated edition of her seminal cookery book, Illustrated Indian Cookery, which sold 3/4 million copies. This new edition has been completely re-designed and re-photographed in a larger hardback format to make it the essential reference book on Indian cuisine. With chapters on meat, poultry, fish and vegetables as well as pulses, breads and rice, relishes, chutneys and pickles, Madhur guides you through the colourful range of Indian food, from classics like Rogan Josh, Tandoori-style Chicken and Naan Bread to more unusual dishes such as Salmon Steamed with Mustard Seeds and Tomato, and Drunken Orange Slices. Complete with comprehensive background information on ingredients, equipment, authentic preparation techniques and suggested menus, Madhur Jaffreys Indian Cookery brings you Indian food at its best. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
