this as a give away, The recipes look delicious and I can't wait to try them out! I'll edit this once I can make something, Update: Since this review I have made about/of the recipes in the book and they are all delicious, Start with the coriander crusted pork loin chops on page, You will not be disappointed,
I love Indian food, I grew up in a community that did not begin to become culturally diverse until a few years ago, which was a bummer when you wanted tikka masala and couldn't get it without driving for a few hours no worries, I now live in a more diverse area also my hometown now has an Indian restaurant.
It's one of the main things that motivated me to learn how to cook, As weird as it seems,
I do actually read cookbooks cover to cover, Modern cookbooks are more than just recipes thrown together, They typically include neat tidbits about the origins of the food, the history, etc, Indspired was no different. The introductory sections of the book were very cool, They included things you would find in a typical Indian kitchen, ingredients for your own spice mixes, and other cool bits of information.
The recipes themselves all included an introductory paragraph about the dish, which I found to be helpful and educational, But the real test for a cookbook is whether you can replicate the author's recipes in your own kitchen, I chose three recipes to make in order to test the cookbook Goan Pork Vindaloo, Piri Piri Chicken Curry, and Chickpea Masala.
All were DELICIOUS. Goan Pork Vindaloo is one of my favorite dishes so I was very hesitant about making it from home but it turned out beautifully.
I'm excited to try the rest of the dishes!
