Any home cook with even a mild interest in Indian cookery simply must own at least one of Madhur Jaffrey’s many fine cookbooks. She is an established authority and a wonderful writer. Award winner From Curries to Kebabs is a fascinating, lively introduction to over 100 of her favorite curries and 20 recipes of its close relative, the kebab. Many are from India, with a few surprises from other less obvious cuisines such as Africa, Thailand, Japan and Britain. Naturally, she offers recipes for some wonderful accompaniments—soups, beans, chutneys, to make the dish complete. Also included is a thorough and fascinating history of curries in the introduction.

Drenched in color, From Curries to Kebabs is a beautifully illustrated, wonderfully written, and well researched book from an authority on this popular and much-loved cuisine.
