Absolutely stunning. The first cookbook to make me feel hungry again after having the worst flu of my life over Christmas (sob!). I made the temple tomato rasam as a gentle reintroduction to solid food and it was exquisite. The smell of the garlic, ginger, chilli, cumin and curry leaves frying together was so restorative I almost wept. Can’t wait to cook more from this wonderful book.

Interesting and accessible recipes that sound delicious! I wish there was a picture for each one. I love the healthy/veg-focused twists here and don't doubt that the recipes would taste great!

This is the best cookbook I've ever used. Recipes are all excellent, easy to follow and adapt to available ingredients. Has introduced me to loads of new ideas.

I *heart* Meera Sodha

This cookbook has beautiful pictures and great stories. I feel like it really helps a beginner jump in and start to understand the glory of India cooking. I'm excited :)

Absolutely stunning - creative, thoughtful recipes bursting with flavour and freshness. I've already made a handful of recipes out of this book and plan to make more. Never has leafing through a cookbook filled me with such unbridled joy.

Started saving individual recipes on my phone, then realized I needed the entire book. I will reassess the star designation once I have had the opportunity to cook more of the recipes.

I have attempted to recommend this to everyone I know but I'm not sure if anyone has taken me up on it, so here I am. If you like Indian food at all buy this book. Meera Sodha makes everything so simple and even when I'm missing some obscure ingredient the dishes still taste fab. There's a lot of variety and she recommends dishes to pair with others in the book. Though I could do without an aubergine/eggplant section (my least favorite vegetable), this cookbook is my Bible. Also, to other Sodha devotees, check out her vegan column on The Guardian UK's website!
