Customer Reviews

Uninspiring
Not sure if it's a complete lack of pictures or even short explanations of the dish, but I find this book completely uninspiring. A good cookbook makes you want to jump up and cook something immediately, but for me this is not one of those books, unfortunately. For a vegetarian cookbook, it also has surprisingly few vegetable-based recipes, mostly with ingredients that might not be fresh at a local supermarket (eggplant, okra, "drumsticks"). At the same time way too much space is allocated to desserts (didn't care for any of them), snacks like "spicy popcorn" (do we really need a cookbook for this?) and chutneys. A somewhat decent section on breads is the only thing that's keeping me from getting rid of this book.

Yum!
This cookbook is easy to understand and the ingrediants are fairly easy to obtain. Great cookbook!

Kinda Boring
This book has absolutely no pics. Kinda boring to look at, but does offer a lot of doable recipes.
