Review title: Review from a seasoned cook of Indian origin...
Product review: Ok, so I bought this book as one of the first additions to my limited cookbook collection. Obviously I was looking for different ideas and techniques than what I'm accustoemd to. For non-Indians this could be a good introduction to Indian cooking. However it would be quite a disappointment for Indians. It is full of useless pictures of spices and unconvincing anecdotes and the recipes are close variations of eachother. The rice cooking technique makes the rice sticky unless you add butter(not mentioned), which I'm sure most pro chefs do, but is not a good idea for everyday home cooking. If you've been cooking for a while then you can tell right away by looking at the recipes that they are only meant to sound exotic but are neither authentic nor will they be edible unless you make serious modifications of your own...basically not worth it.
