    Grandma hands
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2016*

Wow. This cook book is pure wizardry. Be careful if your religious beliefs punish you for dabbling in magic. Because if you read the words contained in this book, and follow the supremely clear instructions for ingredients and processes, your hands will be imbued with the culinary skills of a North Indian / Pakistani grandmother. The kind of grandmother that all the villagers know for her cooking and warm charm (which this book's author has an abundance of!).I'm seriously shocked at the level of flavor and authenticicty that comes out of these dishes that my pale white hands managed to cook. Your friends will eat these dishes and look up at you with a blank stare, internally wondering why their friend would take the time to pay someone to cook this well and claim it as their own. The dishes taste better than anything you'll get at a Pakistani / Indian restaurant. I wouldn't even put it in the same category as restaurant food in fact, because these dishes all have a home-cooked feel to them that I have never been able to pay money to enjoy. The second your fork-fulls of perfectly cooked aromatic spicy shrimp, explosively flavorful kebab patties, or subtlety sophisticated masoor daal begins to disperse themselves onto the surface area of your taste buds, you'll realize this purchase was simply one of the best you've ever made in your life.TL;DR Highly recommended. Happy cooking!

    How recipes should be written
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017*

When I first left India for graduate school in the U.S., my cooking skills were almost nil. I had to learn everything the hard way. I asked around and experimented (finding myself all alone on my 30th birthday, I even baked myself a cake rather than suffer in silence). Eventually I developed a modest repertoire of dishes I could cook well. I wish I had a guidebook like this back then. In the early days, to borrow Abbas's description of his own early experiments, “I probably should have been arrested for some of the meals I made”. :-)In his foreword, Robin Varghese, also a founding editor of 3 Quarks Daily (who is apparently an excellent cook himself), notes the importance of getting the basics right in order to reliably reproduce dishes that taste just right. Abbas focuses on those basics. His attention to detail is meticulous. Every recipe in his final draft was tested by his Italian wife. I also like his unpretentious approach to food. "I stand resolutely against the gourmandizing spirit,” he writes. “I have eaten at some of the best and fanciest restaurants in the world and can honestly say that I prefer tacos from a good food truck to most of the courses I have had there.” If you’re a lover of Pakistani and North Indian food, definitely give this a try.

    Very good recipes, but poor publication quality
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2016*

I've tried several recipes from this book so far, and I enjoy the author's style of writing which makes it feel like a teacher or mentor is helping you along. I find a lot of the vocabulary and terminology he uses is similar to things I've heard from my mom and grandma. I find the recommended use of oil and turmeric a bit heavy handed and my mom felt the food became a bit too heavy for every day eating, so I'm going to use less oil the next time I make some of the recipes. I found the formatting and print quality of the book to be the biggest problem - it's printer quality paper with a glossy craft paper cover. The pictures are not sharp, and have the appearance of something you'd print on your friendly old home printer. I find the aesthetics of it a bit embarrassing and will probably rebind it into something a bit more hardy and useful for the future. All the recipes I've made so far have been delicious, so this really is a classic don't judge the book by its cover situation!
