I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who isn't used to cooking with American measurements. I have found it very difficult to convert the recipes to English measurements and some of the recipes haven't been that good because of this. It's a lot of money for what it is.

I found the dietry information at the beginning of this book quite useful but as a person who does not eat animal-derived foods and therefore has always paid attention to this sort of information there are only so many times I can be told the same 100 fascinating facts about nutrition without my eyes rolling into the back of my head from boredom. Did you know that vitimin C is essential for human health and can be found in citrus fruits? No? Congratulations, you must be the last person on Earth not to know it. You can come out of the cupboard now and start living with the rest of us again.
The dietry stuff is just on the opening ten pages or so. Most of the book is taken up with recipies. Lordy, Miss Scarlet! What recipies! Just ... Read More:

I am not a fan of recipe books and I am even LESS of a fan of celebrity cook books and I will only buy that that I think are worthy of purchasing and this is one of those books.
I will also add I am not a member of the Hare Krishna sect though I have great deal of respect for them, so this review is done based SOLELY on the content of the book itself.
I really like the arguments that are put forward in the beginning of the books as to WHY we should not eat meat, I still eat meat but I am going to try and cut down on it and then cut it out completely, not easy for someone who has "Carnivore" stamped on her butt. The book also points out that there are famous vegetarians such as Leonado de Vinci and Benjamin Franklin to ... Read More:

Having visited South India I was looking for a book which would allow me to attempt to recreate the food I ate while there. This book is perfect. Everything I have attempted has been delicious and reminiscent of the flavours I enjoyed there. The book covers a variety of snacks, sambars & rasams, poriyals, salads, chutneys, rice dishes and desserts. Whilst some ingredients are difficult to source unless you have an Asian grocer locally the majority are relatively easy to obtain.
Highly recommended if you are familiar with South Indian cuisine or if you would like to try a different style of Indian cookery than the more familiar North Indian curries.

When i bought this book i was under the impression it was full of vegan recipes but when i fliped through it i realised that alot of them had eggs and cheese in them and some even contained TUNA!! As for the book itself the recipes are un imaginative i know this book is aimed at studients who dont have time to cook "propper" meals but the could have put more thought into it..most of them are covered in cream or cheese.
Overall this book would suit someone whos kitchen skills are limited
