Review: Amazing book - This book actually describes us how we are in Indus valley civilization. Our forefathers was great and ginus minds.The Indus Valley Civilization, also known as the Harappan Civilization, was a Bronze Age civilization that flourished in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, roughly from 3300 to 1300 BCE. Review: A good outline on the history of Indian foods - A lot of what we eat today are foods that come from the New World, which only a few hundred years ago our ancestors wouldn’t even have heard of. I bought this book to know what Vegetarian Indians ate in the absence of Potatoes and Tomatoes. While this book was amazing on the use of spices, it was less so on entire recipes. What was interesting were the chapters on food and rituals as well as food and medicine. As a recipe book, it is nearly useless, but a good scholarly work for a food historian or anyone interested in the area.

Great book!!
An absolute must for those wishing to learn about Indian cuisine and it's history- the research is impeccable and the information provided is indeed of a very high standard. One observation, including colored pictures instead of black and white would have been really helpful.
