This is a delightful new cookbook that specializes in Indian cooking with some additional twists as well.. The photography is gorgeous and plentiful. They also give a great sense of what the dish should look like once you try to cook it. I adore Indian food but it isn't something that I have had much practice making at home. The explanations given for foods and flavors are descriptive and encouraging to home cooks.
I think my favorite aspect of this book, that is not always seen in cookbooks, is the food science explanation for various aspects of cooking. Why savory versus sweet? How to cook something in a crispy method or a soft method and why choose one or the other? What are different forms of sweet flavor and how do you use or combine them in recipes? How do I combine various key factors in cooking to get the most out of a dish? There is so much here to read and reread. I will most definitely buy this cookbook to add to my collection when it comes out.
Highly recommend.
