Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 164 Pages plus a Six Page comprehensive index. No defects noted and interior text pages are near flawless. The creativity of the cook lies in the mastery of spices, which lends individuality to age-old recipes. Therein lies the charm of Indian cuisine, for it not only differs from region to region but also from family to family. Each region has its own distinctive cuisine, with emphasis on different spices. Dishes from the North, for example, are spiced with cumin seeds and garam masala, whereas South Indian dishes are flavored with coconut, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Dishes from the West are sweet-sour to the taste. Certain religious taboos apply, too. Hindus do not eat beef and Moslems do not eat pork. The majority of Indians are vegetarian, which is reflected in the many ways any single vegetable can be prepared. For example, potatoes can be cooked with cumin seeds and scallions or with peas and tomatoes or in a myriad of other ways. Vegetables are used not only as main and side dishes but are cleverly transformed into dumplings, appetizers, crepes, snacks, soups, chutneys, pickles, breads, and desserts, clearly demonstrating the versatility of this cuisine. Until recently, cookbooks were not used in the Indian kitchen. One lived in extended families and carried on the tradition of the family through cooking. Girls learned to cook watching their mothers and grandmothers and took a bit of this heritage with them to their husband's family. Recipes were handed down through generations and each family acquired a distinctive style of cooking within the confines of their regional cuisine. In spite of the many Indian restaurants found in every major city of the world, or perhaps because of them, authentic Indian cuisine still remains largely unrecognized. The bill of fare in an average restaurant continues to be sadly stereotyped, giving the impression that Indian food is overspiced, greasy, and too laborious to prepare at home. Yet simply cooked home-style food is delicious, and there is a plethora of cooking styles to choose from, each more delectable than the next.

".a fascinating historical perspective on Indian culinary traditions, from the vegetarian diet adopted by the Hindus thousands of years ago to the lavish banquets served at the royal courts of the Moghul emperors to the Portuguese influence on the cooking of Goa and the heritage of the spice traders, such as the powerful British East India Company. Chandra's text is informed, drawing on a vast array of both primary and secondary sources, but it is also highly readable; she has an engaging style and a subtle sense of humor. Some of the recipes are classics, but many will be new to readers most familiar with the mix of Moghul/tandoori dishes still served in the majority of Indian restaurants here. Although an Indian "spice pantry" is essential, few of Chandra's delectable recipes are complicated. Highly recommended. "--Library Journal.
