Product Description
Product Description
Indian food is one of the most popular cuisines, but people are often daunted by the complexities of balancing spices or worried that cooking Indian dishes at home may be time-consuming. Written in a very personal style, Meena Pathak's Flavours of India addresses both issues, presenting 100 fabulous, fool-proof (and healthy) recipes for today's busy cooks (many taking 45 minutes or less from start to finish). Her book is packed with practical tips gleaned from a lifetime's love of food, as well as information on storing and preparing spices and lots of time-saving ideas. More than simply a recipe book, this is also a fascinating culinary journey as Meena recalls her memories of food and cooking among her extended family at home in India and in the UK and introduces those special ingredients which are the key to authentic Indian cookery. Whether this is a first book on Indian cookery or another 'must buy' cookbook for the inveterate foodie, this gloriously illustrated book makes Indian food both accessible to make and pleasurable to read about.

Format:Hardcover
I have always been a bit aprehensive about cooking up authentic Indian meals thinking them to be very time consuming and requiring lots and lots of ingredients. But, no! The recipes are easy as anything and don't take that long to create. Also, you don't have to buy a massive long list of ingredients as most of them you probably already have. There are also great tips at the beginning of the book which help if you haven't cooked Indian before. All in all an excellent buy - fantastic recipes, beautiful photography and great tips. Highly recommended!

Not What I Expected!
30 Dec 2003
I am an avid cooker of Indian food and have several great Indian cookbooks. This one was a major disappointment and a waste of money. Tried a number of recipes in order to make a proper assessment, did not like any of them.
Recipes are simple and uncomplicated. However, flavours were unappealing and unexciting and did not vary much from one recipe to the next. After making about 6 recipes I gave up.
