Excellent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moghul Cooking: India's Courtly Cuisine (Paperback)
Delicious, ambitious recipies. Easy to read, and the results are exemplary. Although on principle one avoids recommendations - they inevitably lead to disappointment - this book is worthy of the great tradition of which she writes. The culinary experience is superlative.

Luxurious Indian cooking,
By E. L. Wisty "If you hear about C. P. Snow exp... (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Moghul Cooking: India's Courtly Cuisine (Paperback)
Attempting to recreate the luxury and splendour of an Indian Moghul emperor's table, Joyce Westrip's book is a real delight for lovers of Indian food.
There are plenty of unbelievably delicious recipes herein; it is particularly strong on meat dishes with their symphonies of spices, fruits, nuts and cream. There are also some wonderful rice dishes and chutneys. It does feel a little weak in comparison with the vegetable dishes however, but that's not a huge negative in such an excellent book. Don't expect however to be knocking these kind of dishes up in a hurry. Many involve multiple stages which may begin with a marinating of meat overnight in a complex blend of spices, followed by further stages of adding various other preparations and spice mixes. You'll be needing a well stocked cupboard of fresh spices, and a spice/coffee grinder and a blender/chopper. The results are worth it though. This book is recommended without hesitation for curry lovers.
