The Real Indian Cookery Course

Rating:
Summary: not inspiring
Review: the author of this book intends to teach indian cooking by having the cook prepare 21 days of indian menus. there does not seem to me to be a progression from simple to complicated, or from one end of india to the other, but i may have missed something, since i have not taken up the suggestion and have merely used this book as a source for recipes.

the recipes are arranged in a way i find annoying, and not just because of the american, british and metric measurements. this, of course, is a personal matter and others may find the recipes easy to use.

this is a disappointing book. i kept it in my collection for the sake of one or two recipes i did not have duplicated in my other (too numerous to admit to) indian cookbooks.

this would not be a book i would recommend to any level indian cook. there are many others in print that are more informative, have what i consider superior recipes, and are easier to use.

Summary: Good recipes!
Review: While I agree with the previous review that the arrangement of the book is a little odd, I would highly recommend this to anyone with little or no experience in cooking Indian food (like I was). The recipes are easy to follow and the food is excellent!

The language is British English, so keep that in mind before purchasing. Ingredient amounts are listed in metric, Imperial, and American.

There is a good index in the back where you can look up the English / Hindi names for things.
