    5 out of 5 stars Great Guide to a great cuisine.......2005-07-28

    Yummy! A very detailed book with tips and insight into the colorful cuisine of India. A must if travelling to India. We are not aware of the vastness of the cuisine in India. There is so much to taste and smell besides Curries. If you're a food junkie, it is a must.

    5 out of 5 stars very helpful travel guide.......2005-06-19

    before going to india, i was only familiar with a few indian dishes. i purchased this book because i wanted to learn more about indian food so that i could fully enjoy the cusine on my trip. i found this book helpful in describing different foods, and helped me be less aprehensive in trying something i knew nothing about. this is a great guide for anyone traveling to india who would like to know more about what they are going to be eating. it's also a great guide for any non-traveler looking to expand their culinary experiences in their own city.

    3 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet World Food India.......2002-01-21

    This is a lovely, colorful and attractive book full of interesting information about Indian culture and daily living.
    However, I was disapointed that it had just a few recipes as it is really more of a travel/guide book. I returned the book because I wanted a cook book, not a guide book. But if you want a guide book, you will be pleased.

    5 out of 5 stars Yum!.......2001-10-26

    What a great book! Lots of simple recipes but also some more complex ones to experiment with on rainy Sunday afternoons. Great authentic smells and flavours.
