5 Stars Makes Indian food possible for me to cook!!!
I have always loved Indian food, but I never thought I’d be able to cook any. This book has taught me that I can cook it, my husband will eat it, and most of the ingredients are already in my kitchen! This is a great way to eat more vegetables, because they taste so much more alive using the ingredients and techniques described in this book. 5 Spices, 50 Dishes is THE cookbook that I turn to for inspiration when I’m tired of my usual cooking; I can’t recommend it enough.
