This fusion book helps to make TRUE indian food- not the fatty kind in restaurants. The introduction to Indian-ish was absolutely amazing and I just felt like my experience growing up as an american child of indian parents was represented in the book. Fantastic recipes with easy to read instructions and explanations. The flow-chart for how to cook dal (lentils) is my go to resource that I've already shared with many friends. You will not regret buying this book!!-mp
This is a great cookbook for anyone who loves Indian food, is curious about Indian food, or even those who cook Indian dishes every day. I especially appreciate the simplicity of the recipes. Inspired by the author's mother (who juggles the demands of a full-time job with her love of cooking), these dishes can be made quickly. No need to wait until the weekend to make great innovative food! This book is also a delightful read! It's a wonderful story that celebrates Indian culture and its fusion with modern American life. The love of food, family, and cultural traditions shine through each recipe. What Julia Child did for French cooking, Priya Krishna does for Indian: explains it and makes it accessible to an American public. But these recipes are much easier and faster! They can become go-to favorites for busy families. I will be giving this book to everyone I know!-FEB
This is honestly a great cookbook, I preordered mine and it came yesterday and I haven't put it down yet. It is very well written and entertaining and offers a glimpse into what it is to be an Indian American cook in the US, having fusion recipes that the author's only family knows and loves. Some of the recipes have been posted to Bon Appetit's YouTube channel and are excellent. The book is written in a way that is very inviting and features diagrams and pictures to help anyone learn the art of Indianish cooking.-CDelaney
