I bought this as a gift for a friend who wants to master Indian cooking but has no clue which this book is perfect for! Very extensive, lots of pictures and step-by-step instructions. I can't wait to eat what she makes!
Very nice book. By north American cooking standards Indian cooking is very time-consuming and fussy, but the end result is well worth it. The best thing about the book is the attention to detail based, it seems, on the assumption that the cook know nothing. It might've been called Indian cooking for dummies. While I won't say that the recipes are fool-proof, if the instructions and pictures are closely adhered to I get a great result.
