A fantastic book
I have the hardback version. Very unusual to find a beautifully presented book on South Indian vegetarian cuisine - this is the only one i've ever found. As a veggie South Indian, I can vouch for the authenticity and accuracy of the recipes, love the Tamil equivalents on names and the fact that the recipes are 'just like mother makes'.Would recommend this to anyone who wants to get into South Indian cuisine. Mmmmmmmmm!

All the flavours I remember
Having visited South India I was looking for a book which would allow me to attempt to recreate the food I ate while there. This book is perfect. Everything I have attempted has been delicious and reminiscent of the flavours I enjoyed there. The book covers a variety of snacks, sambars & rasams, poriyals, salads, chutneys, rice dishes and desserts. Whilst some ingredients are difficult to source unless you have an Asian grocer locally the majority are relatively easy to obtain.

Highly recommended if you are familiar with South Indian cuisine or if you would like to try a different style of Indian cookery than the more familiar North Indian curries.

First class book for curry fiends
The book details some unsual vegetarian curries and side dishes which would be of interest to meat eaters or vegetarians alike. The recipes while quite complicated, especially the Dosai, depict the very tasty cuisine of South India.
