Why aren’t the recipes for this book available on ckbk?
We are building our collection of cookbooks all the time. This book is on our wish list, but it is not yet available on ckbk.
Books which are part of ckbk's collection show one of these two logos:
Chef
A profound influence on my life. I left home for university clutching this book (thanks mum) and lived on many of the various dal recipes. It was a cheap and nutritious way to eat as a student. Many years and countless trips to the subcontinent later I now own some grander, more comprehensive collections of Indian recipes but this one is still closest to my heart.
Author and food historian
Simple, delicious Indian inspired recipes using relatively ordinary ingredients. Everyone loves the food. My copy is dog-eared and stained, and the pages stick together.
Chef, food writer and broadcaster
I have the original version of this book, published in 1982 - its pages are well worn and smudged with turmeric and ghee – a tribute to its enduring appeal.
Author
Indian food no longer has the mystique it had when this was written, but the recipes are still as enjoyable to eat and fail-proof.
Journalist
I lived in India for two years and this is the book I used then — and still use — for authentic curries and side dishes.
Producer and host of Eat This Podcast
Very old, very stained, and still one of my absolute favourites.
