Review: Good book - The recipes are good however would have liked it if there are more pictures of recipes some of them didn’t have photos Review: Go To Cookbook! - This is the "go to" cookbook in my kitchen. I've made recipes from every section of the book, many several times over and have taken the liberty to experiment with different meats (i.e. the Pan Asian Curried Beef recipe I've made with ground lamb, beef, buffalo, etc.)These recipes have tested the palates of my friends and pushed my culinary skills to new levels while at the same time relatively easy to understand and achieve great results. Love the fact that most recipes are loaded with flavor, but not so much on the calories!!! And yes, some of the ingredients are difficult to find, though a quick order online and a few visits to specialty markets will do the trick. Too many great recipes to list suffice it to say, I'm not the greatest cook but I feel like a culinary goddess with this cookbook by my side.

Disappointing
As someone who has much admired all that Padma Lakshmi has achieved personally and professionally, I was excited to purchase/use this book. It was disappointing to find that few of the recipes were suprising or insightful. The dessert section was particularly disappointing due to the limited selection - focussing upon ice creams and crumbles... little creativity or inspiration. I suspect this is a book that will stay on the shelf more than it's ever going to be used.

Excellent and creative recipes
I made all of the following dishes as part of my menu for a SE inspired dinner party with excellent results: Keralan Crab Cakes, Deviled Eggs w/Serrano Chilies, Asian Cole Slaw, Carrot & Cilantro Salad, Green Mango Curry. Most of the recipes are not complicated, but they often require ingredients that you may not find at regular supermarkets (e.g. amchoor, or dried mango powder, and asafoetida) - I found everything I need at Kalyustan's in NYC ([...] The author does suggest alternatives for the more hard-to-find ingredients, and her easy-to-follow recipes have inspired me to try making more labor-intensive dishes like Moroccan Bisteeya.
