Must-have for those interested in Indian cooking, 11 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Although the sheer volume of the book is daunting at first, don't panic. My husband and I found Sahni's cookbook to be very well-written, and the recipes are delicious! I will agree with one other reviewer though, and say that Madhur Jaffrey's _Indian Cooking_ might also be a worthwhile buy since her recipes are a little less complicated. But definitely try Sahni's once you get some experience! Her book on vegetarian and grain cooking is also excellent, even if you are not vegetarian.

Fabulous Indian food in my own kitchen!, 15 Feb 1999
By A Customer
"Classic Indian Cooking" is by far the best of the various Indian cookbooks I've owned. Julie Sahni ranks with Julia Child in her ability to teach, inspire and help you understand techniques and ingredients. The recipes are meticulous and so convincingly put forth that the reader wouldn't even think about taking a short-cut or substituting an ingredient -- you know that Julie knows best. The results, in every recipe I've tried, are spectacular. (Particularly the splendid recipes for chicken braised with spices.) The complex flavors and heady aromas delight the senses long after the guests have left and the dishes are washed.

A must have book!, 26 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This book is a goldmine of information about Indian cooking. From how to select and grind your own spices to a wide variety of recipes. And with the author's personal anecdotes thrown in too. There are easy recipes, and complex recipes, but all are fun to prepare due to the author's detailed instructions. Everything I've tried has been wonderful and received rave reviews from my guests!
