Il gusto del Pakistan
Ben confezionato, bella fotografia, ottima presentazione (Madhur Jaffrey), cura editoriale tipicamente inglese; la prima cosa che mi ha attratto del libro è stata la copertina con il disegno dell'albero di tamarindo, leggermente in rilievo. Ma a parte questo, e a parte il fatto che la cucina del Pakistan non è una assoluta novità, il ricettario è molto buono, realizzato in modo semplice, chiaro, compresa la parte introduttiva sulle miscele di curry e sulle modalità di cottura. Una attenzione particolare è dedicata ai pani tipici.

Beautiful, original cookbook
This is a beautiful, original cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and although the author uses a lot of spices they are easy to find in South Asian shops or online (amazon has all of them). The section on drinks is excellent and original, I'm sure you can impress your friends with some of her drinks. The meat and vegetable section is also really good, some vegetarian main dishes are included, soups, dahls and curries. I really recommend this book, especially if you are looking for something new for your repertoire and new flavors. The book also includes the memories of the author of her country of origin, so it makes the book not only a good recipe book but an excellent before bed reading!
