Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking
A must have for Indian cooking lover
I read the book from cover to cover while there, taking some notes and was hoping my daughter-in-law would just tell me to take it home with me, but alas, I left empty handed. I just HAD to order it as soon as we returned home. I am going to buy another copy to give as a gift for relatives that we will be visiting in England who love Indian food.

More Amazing Indian Cookbooks
Thai Street Food
"David Thompson's latest is not only a phenomenal primer in authentic Thai cooking, it is a work of art--full of some of the most gorgeous food photographs ever taken. I dearly love this book."
--James Oseland, editor in chief of Saveur and author of Cradle of Flavor
"Spend time with David Thompson's Thai Street Food as I have. Take in the images and contemplate the tastes. Then immerse yourself by preparing the food. This is a revelatory work."
--Andrea Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen
"Generous photographs full of life raise this appreciative and knowledgeable exploration of classic Thai street foods to a new level. We are transported instantly to Bangkok's street-side restaurants and stalls, where from early morning to late-night, Thai culinary flare is on dazzling display."
--Naomi Duguid, coauthor of Hot Sour Salty Sweet
"The food cognoscenti in America have finally begun celebrating our street foods as something more than novelty, but as David Thompson shows us, the culture of cooking, eating, and sharing in public is at the very heart of Thai life. The recipes, cultural scenes, and photographs in this wonderful book feel so alive--rich with the flavor, messiness, and spirit of living."
--Francis Lam, food editor, Salon.com

Shakespeare's Kitchen: Renaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook
Stunning cookbook
From a non Shakespeare view this is an amazing cookbook well worth the price. It has beautiful pictures of the food, a bit of story, easy to read and make recipes (for the intermediate cook) and best of all they TASTE good. Delicious in fact.
Does it appeal the the Shakespeare fan? Well as much as a movie based on the author does. Not everything springs from Shakespeare's prose, not everything is exactly from the time period BUT and this is a big BUT this is a usable, beautiful cook book that has a bit of historic flare. To be fair to the Author the title does say for the contemporary cook.
I would buy this as a gift with out need for a second thought
pros - good recipes that tastes, nice pictures, good layout
Cons Big book not exactly made for the average NY apt counter top. So beautiful I feel guilty about getting it dirty(got over that quickly). Not for the historian just the history inspired.

China Moon Cookbook
Fun and great recipes!
I love this book! I've become somewhat known in my family as the one who can cook Chinese. My husband, friends and relatives agree that the best dish I make is Kung Pao Beef, a recipe from this book. You must try it, it's far superior to any Kung Pao that I've ever had in a restaurant.It may take you a while to find all of the ingredients for recipes in this book. I still have to go to a few different stores to find some of them, but I've learned to keep a good stock of them. (Most Chinese condiments have a long shelf life, which is helpful!) This book helped me create a Chinese "pantry" of ingredients and they are as common as ketchup in my kitchen now. When I first got this book, internet shopping didn't exist, so now I know that if I need a new ingredient, I can probably find it on the net, if not locally. I actually went all over Chinatown on a trip to Chicago to try and find Sichuan peppercorns. Never did find them!
I've read all of the reviews, the positives and the negatives...they really are all true. You simply need to know what you are looking for. This book is not for those who want to turn to page 32 and make the dish from items in their American pantry within 30 minutes on a Monday night. There are times when that's what I want and need. But this book is really more for people with a passion for cooking: people who are willing to take time to learn, to seek out and try new ingredients, and to take extra steps in the kitchen in order to create something EXTRA-ordinary, perhaps sublime.
This is a VERY special book and I'm so happy to have it. I hope more people will post the recipes that they especially like, so I'll know which one to try next! Ours is Kung Pao Beef...yours?

Eat Caribbean
A Culinary Trip Through The Islands
The colorful cover caught my eye, but it's the creative and easy-to-prepare recipes inside that keep me coming back to this book regularly. This cookbook goes way beyond jerk, or adding a little pineapple or coconut to a dish.Author Virginia Burke is true to the cultural origins of dishes and the recipes are presented in an easy-to-understand and unpretentious manner. To my surprise, finding the ingredients in the U.S. has been quite managable. I have seen this author on TV once, and think she deserves a cooking show of her own. How fun it would be to take a weekly culinary trip through the islands with Virginia Burke.
