Beautiful and authentic, but you'll need a very good Indian market nearby
This book is NOT for the casual cook as it is extremely authentic. Many of the recipes call for ingredients that are very unusual and may be difficult or impossible to find unless you live in a large urban area and have a good Indian grocer. Even then, you may have to dig through several recipes before you find one you can actually find the ingredients to make. For example, I don't know where to buy goat meat in Longmont, Colorado! By the way, I cook a lot and I have a huge collection of spices as I love ethnic food. Still I will need to go shopping at the Indian market for almost any recipe in this book. Also, unless you cook a lot of Indian food, you may get frustrated because there are ingredients called for where you need one or two tablespoons of something that requires a separate preparation that produces a large quantity. So if you only make a recipe from this book on occasion, you will end up wasting food.
That said, this is a delightful book. It is extremely well organized by region, and has beautiful pictures and descriptions of India. It is beautifully written and I can tell that the recipes will produce delicious, authentic meals.
In summary - it is a gorgeous book that I have already spent hours reading, but I have yet to tackle a recipe, but I definitely will! It is not a book that has been adapted to make it easy to use in the USA. I recommend it though, even Its only a coffee table book for your home. If you are willing, and you live in a place where you can locate all the required ingredients, it may be the best authentic Indian food reference out there.
