Best cooking book I own	Customer Rating:
I thought about this book for a while before purchasing, and I wish I hadn't waited so long. This book is my absolute favorite, and I cook something new from this book 1-2 times a week. The pictures are beautiful, recipes easy to follow, and I love the stores intertwined with the recipes. It's really a beautiful coffee-table type book that lives in my kitchen. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent, Informative and Engaging Cookbook/Diary	Customer Rating:
Plain and simple,..a must-have book. The recipes are well written and clear, the authors stories about their travels through the sub-continent are interesting and lend to their credibility, and they also have fantastic pictures, as well as information as to where to buy some of the more exotic ingredients...this book lacks nothing.

Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent	Customer Rating:
A beautiful book that can be a coffee table book, cookbook, and an adventurous travel read. It has gorgeous colorful pictures with short vignettes about the recipes and people of India. It will transport you to a different world and the cooks will not be disappointed with the unique recipes.

Finally tried some of the recipes - all turned out great!	Customer Rating:
I've had this book for about three months, and have flipped through it many times, but this weekend I finally bought the staple ingredients that many of the recipes needed, and tried out three of them. They all turned out delicious! Don't be put off by strange ingredients, they were all very cheap, and easy to cook with.

Book of travels not recipes	Customer Rating:
The pictures and stories of the travels through the region are fabulous, but if you are looking for good instrutctions and pictures of the recipes, this is not the cookbook you are looking for.
