Excellent Cook Book
Cooking at Home with Pedatha (Best Vegetarian Book in the World - Gourmand Winner)

This is an awesome book filled with traditional South Indian Vegetarian recipes and includes hints on varying the dish either by adding/changing other spices or vegetables. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and the illustrations are very appealing. It is impossible to find such authentic home food in any restaurant, whether in or out of India. The food based on these recipes definitely transported me back to my childhood!

This is the real deal
We bought this cook book shortly after an extended stay in India with family and it is the real deal. The recipes are just like our Autie's. Clear instructions and great pictures. It's just not a beginners book.

A Beautiful Book
I just received the book two days ago and have read it from start to finish. A beautifully written and illustrated book - you can tell it was written with a lot of love. I would have given it a heart 5 stars BUT, not being at home with many of the ingredients, I have compiled a significant list that needs more definition, and perhaps source recommendations before I can try the recipes. It also has a STRONG mothball like smell so it's airing out in the screened porch!
