"This book is a great pick for those looking for new ways to incorporate Indian flavors. Most of the recipes come together easily, often in 30 minutes or less, and are perfect for weeknight dinners." —Tara's Multicultural Table blog

"Like his previous books, Nayak shares some more of his easy-to-follow recipes to create appealing hale and hearty meals in no time at all. Packed with eye-catching photos by Turkel, the book offers chapters such as 'Accompaniments,' 'Appetizers, Soups and Salads,' 'Vegetables, Egg and Cheese,' 'Seafood,' 'Poultry,' 'Breads and Rice' and 'Desserts and Drinks.'" —Khaas Baat newspaper

"I adore spices. Throughout my travel in Asia, I love visiting spice markets. It is no surprise then that I am a great fan of Indian cooking. Its intricate blending of so many spices is absolutely fascinating and delightful. Thanks to Chef Nayak, my understanding of Indian flavors and cooking techniques have broadened, and with that, my appreciation. Chef Nayak's Indian kitchen is now in my kitchen, as it should be in yours too." —Martin Yan, TV Show Host and Cookbook Author, Yan Can Cook
