Indian Food

Worth buying

A lot of what we eat today are foods that come from the New World, which only a few hundred years ago our ancestors wouldn’t even have heard of. I bought this book to know what Vegetarian Indians ate in the absence of Potatoes and Tomatoes. While this book was amazing on the use of spices, it was less so on entire recipes. What was interesting were the chapters on food and rituals as well as food and medicine.As a recipe book, it is nearly useless, but a good scholarly work for a food historian or anyone interested in the area.

Amazing book! Must have!!

An absolute must for those wishing to learn about Indian cuisine and it's history- the research is impeccable and the information provided is indeed of a very high standard. One observation, including colored pictures instead of black and white would have been really helpful.

A nice book for every culinary and food lover those who wants to know about the history of our good and trends...Such a nice one

Meant for those who have academic interest in food

Thoroughly researched and informative .Could've been a bit more entertaining though.

Once you read it. The depthness it carries for a food history. Amazing

This is the most detailed work on the ingredients and other components of Indian cooking from a historical point of view down to the modern era that I have ever seen. It is a great achievement. It is well worth having if you are interested knowing all about this important subject, Indian Cuisine!

Excellent information about the history of Indian food
