Indian delights - The Best ... Very Best ...

I have been using Indian Delights since it's Second revised edition. The Best of Indian Delights (circa: 1980's) is a distant second to the original. Coupled with on-hand experiences with various styles of Indian cooking back home, Indian delights is head and shoulders ahead of all the other good Indian cookbooks out there. The step-by-step method is always so much on target as is the Glossary of Indian to English condiments and food names - near the front of the book - along with comparative weight measures. Shukhriya Zulaikha Mayat, Fatima Meer & niece - who used to market Indian Delights in Virgina, USA.

Perfect every time

As said above this book was considered a bible in every home when I was back in SA. I left home without it and went dearly hunting to get one. The 2nd book the Best of Indian Delights is not as good (well it is too small) as the original one. SA Indian cooking is quite different and many people have been praising our style here. You cannot beat our samoosas and briyani. Everything is so clear and this book has been around longer than me. Reliable and damn good.

Scrumptious African Indian Delights

I grew up in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, and this book was a must for every family. When I got married and moved to US my mum bought a book for me too. I don't think a day goes by when I don't refer to the Indian Delights for help. These recipes are almost flop free and much tastier than the regular Indian food exposed to people in America. I would highly recommend this book to any level of cook whether they are beginners or pros in the kitchen.

An impressive cooking handbbok

This book has been the cooking bible of the South African Indian community for ages (irrespective of where you come from, your indian designation etc). When my wife and I moved to the States, this book was a must have. Normal Indian cooking (from India) lacks the flavor of traditional South African cuisine. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to taste Indian cooking with a distinct hint of Western charisma ....

traditional indian cooking made easy

This book was made by the South African Indian community for a better preservation of the traditional indian cuisine. The major advantage of the book is that every recipe is well explained, with the ingredient names either in English or Indian languages. The food preparation is explained in enough details, so that even a newcomer could cook without problems. A curiosity: there is section in the book for 'large' cooking needs, such as a wedding celebration with something like 800 people!
