I don't think I've ever seen a book to teach Indian cooking in a systematic way. It's about time we've had one and this one is a humdinger...What makes this a teaching book and not just a doorstop is the reference materials. Essays on regional food ways are fascinating...I could sit and read this book all day!" -- T.

It's about time we've had one and this one is a humdinger...What makes this a teaching book and not just a doorstop is the reference materials. Essays on regional food ways are fascinating...I could sit and read this book all day!" -- T. Susan Chang The Level Teaspoon podcast As Monisha Bharadwaj teaches Westerners to prepare the cuisine of her native India, her background as a scholar of the country's history always helps drive the lessons... It's an approach that Bharadwaj follows at her London-based cooking school and in her comprehensive new book... Across nearly 500 pages, she introduces readers to the stories, traditions, and geographical differences that define Indian cuisine. Michael Floreak, The Boston Globe -- Michael Floreak The Boston Globe Here we have the best and maybe the only book currently aiming to teach Indian cooking in a systematic way. (Author Monisha Bharadwaj runs an Indian cooking school in London.) Just as you'd expect, The Indian Cooking Course has recipes for rice, dals, vegetables, meats, chutneys, flatbreads, vindaloos, kormas and samosas. But it's not just recipes; the reference material goes wide and deep, from colorful street shots and essays on regional foodways to step-by-step demo photos and instructions. The package is equally lyrical and technical, and a pleasure to use. NPR, Guide to 2016's Great Reads
