“The final word on the subject.... Perhaps the best Indian cookbook available in English.” —The New York Times   “A volume that had much to do with so many Indian dinner parties and countless curries being prepared in American and British kitchens. Something about [Jaffrey’s] recipes and writing style makes the cuisine seem exotic and enchanting while still entirely doable.” —Serious Eats   “Jaffrey’s graceful writing and fascinating content led me to trust her.... [An Invitation to Indian Cooking] invited and seduced me.” —Gourmet

“No one in the last fifty years has influenced the West’s understanding of Indian food like Madhur Jaffrey. Today, she is still the ultimate authority. She has patiently shown us how to mix spices, explained the regional differences of this vast cuisine, and also provided shortcuts to preparing a myriad of dishes. She is a towering figure in international gastronomy, serving as mentor and inspiration to the countless writers and cooks who have come after her. I remain in awe of her.” —Padma Lakshmi “Perhaps the best Indian cookbook available in English.” —The New York Times
