  Good fusion recipe cookbook, with Indian twists on recipes from other cuisines (Italian, Spanish, American Comfort, Mexican, Middle Eastern, etc.). Creative recipes like Spice-Rubbed Cauliflower Steaks with Pistachio & Cilantro Gremolata, Bucatini a la Pumpkin with Pink Peppercorn & Pistachio, Indian Stuffed Mushrooms, Creamy Grits with Roasted Tomato Jam, Cornbread Gulab Jamun, Tofu 65, Toasted Coconut Chili Peanuts, Mango Gazpacho, Poblano Torta, Patatas Karras (Bravas made w/ tomato chutney), Watermelon Rose Salad, Chocolate Cardamom Macadamia Butter, Falafel-Pear Lettuce Wraps, Saffron Lassi and Creamy Mango-Coconut Froze. They can be time consuming, though; 15 ingredients isn't unusual. Also there are only 55 recipes. But I still loved them and am glad to own it. Get the print edition--based on the preview it's much prettier than the e-book, which only has small photos. 4 stars.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Indian home fries with peanuts

    I love sweet potatoes & I love peanuts so I knew I’d enjoy this. Used some peppers from our garden. Great with the cucumber-carrot raita as suggested! Doubled the recipe because we like food & leftovers. Added some quinoa as well to make a more filling meal. Next time i would love to make the shaboodani!

• Cucumber-carrot raita

  • NicoleBrown on August 26, 2024

    Good & very quick and easy to make! I am not vegan. When I saw “coconut yogurt” I purchased Two Good’s coconut flavored yogurt. But now looking at the ingredients on EYB, maybe it was supposed to be plain yogurt? Either way, it was delicious!

• Bucatini à la pumpkin with pink peppercorn & pistachio

    Nice little dish. I enjoyed the bit of kick the sauce had to it!
