Featured Item:
A must have for people who love food and cooking!
Some books hang around long enough to become part of the language, and then they're
considered classics, but the real classic earns its status with overwhelming merit; such is the case
with the Larousse Gastronomique. It's been around since 1938, with 8,500 recipes, over a thousand
pages of encyclopedic knowledge from A (Abaisse--a pastry making term) to Z (Zwieback--a kind
of biscuit), and the final word in matters culinary. Handy for cooking terms, kitchen queries, and lots more.

Julie Sahni is the author of my favorite Indian cookbooks. She is originally from India, but now runs several restaurants in New York. Her books are amazing in the amount of detail she gives in how to prepare each recipe. There is also a comprehensive introduction to ingredients, techniques, equipment, etc., and offer a fascinating introduction to Indian cuisine. She also has recipes from many regions of India, and provides a lot of background to the dish and the country. I have cooked from all four of her books, and highly recommend them! Classic Indian Cooking; Julie Shani, Julie Sahni; Hardcover; $22.50 Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking; Julie Sahni; Hardcover; $22.50; Descriptive information available.

Madhur Jaffrey is another of the most popular authors of Indian cookbooks. She's an actress, living in the UK. She often hosts BBC cooking shows and has lavishly illustrated books, though not as much detail as Julie Sahni. These books are among my favorites too!
