The “queen of Indian cooking" ( Saveur ), Madhur Jaffrey helped introduce generations of American home cooks to the foods of the subcontinent. In An Invitation to Indian Cooking —widely considered one of the best cookbooks of all time and enshrined in the James Beard Foundation’s Cookbook Hall of Fame—Jaffrey gives readers a sweeping survey of the rich culinary traditions of her home. Living in London and homesick, she was prompted to re-create the dishes of her Delhi childhood. Jaffrey taught herself the art of Indian cuisine and, in this groundbreaking book, she shares those lessons with us all. Featuring more than 160 recipes, the book covers everything from appetizers, soups, vegetables, and meats to fish, chutneys, breads, desserts, and more. From recipes for formal occasions to the making of everyday staples such as dals, pickles, and relishes, Jaffrey’s “invitation” has proved irresistible for generations of American home cooks. Beautifully redesigned—and with a new foreword by the author and a new introduction by superfan, Yotam Ottolenghi—and featuring Jaffrey's own illustrations, this anniversary edition celebrates An Invitation to Indian Cooking ’s half a century as the go-to text on Indian cooking. Review: Solid cookbook that doesn't contain errors and the binding is strong. Go with the classic book! - If you are going to make ethnic food for your home, it is best to trust someone who has a track record of doing it right.

This is a solid cookbook with a history of use by home cooks that is successful and is well regarded. If you're going to add one ethnic book on Indian cooking, this is the one that comes highly suggested. Review: Authentic recipes - I heard that this was one of the best authentic Indian cookbooks available. I bought it for my son, who is a cook and LOVES Indian food.

Now, thanks to this book that many American home cooks have treasured for 50 years, I can explore all my favorites in my own kitchen. It happens that there's a well-stocked supplier of fresh spices and condiments in my city, so I can closely follow the recipes. It's a lot of fun, and the results are good to eat. ## Frequently Bought Together - An Invitation to Indian Cooking: 50th Anniversary Edition: A Cookbook - The Indian Cooking Course: Techniques - Masterclasses - Ingredients - 300 Recipes - Dishoom: The first ever cookbook from the much-loved Indian restaurant --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/542940040-an-invitation-to-indian-cooking-50th-anniversary-edition-a-cookbook](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/542940040-an-invitation-to-indian-cooking-50th-anniversary-edition-a-cookbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
