The reliability of Makan’s recipes and her personable, confident voice ensure that this collection will be a go-to for home cooks seeking creative inspiration for midweek meals. A welcome addition to Makan’s range of popular cookbooks.
Makan’s steady and reassuring guidance makes this a valuable resource for all home cooks, vegetarian or not, looking to expand their repertoire of contemporary Indian dishes; highly recommended.
Vibrant photography, compact recipes, and straightforward preparation techniques make this title enticing for both beginning and experienced home cooks, though it could have been improved with the addition of a basic ingredient guide.
Many cooks will enjoy Makan's easy-to-follow recipes for craveable snacks and small plates. Also recommend Denise D'silva Sankhé's Beyond Curry Indian Cookbook or Susan Feniger's Street Food.
Bake Off fans will clamor for this debut. As a stand-alone baking book, Makan's work will appeal to readers who appreciated Gaitri Pagrach-Chandra's Sugar & Spice, Samantha Seneviratne's The New Sugar & Spice, and Ruby Tandoh's Crumb: The Baking Book.
