Indian Cookbooks
 | An outstanding collection of exotic recipes of the kind which you find mostly on
the menus of fine dining restaurants frequented by the elite of the urban
society. Now with these recipes you can cook these dishes at home and delight
your near and dear ones. Each recipe has been detailed out in the typical
Sanjeev Kapoor style… step-by-step and in simple language which when followed
religiously will yield results that are beyond your expectations. In short they
will be perfect… almost like they seem in the photographs that appear in the
book.

Though the book is about soups, salads, sandwiches, snacks and sweets - they can be combined expertly to make a complete meal. From the wholesome pasta to the feathery light salad, from the common tomato soup to the more upmarket Broccoli soup and the unassuming halwa to the exotic soufflé – a variety that would perk up every interested palate from within and out of India.
The book carries such fascinating recipes like Saffron and Seafood Soup and Mushroom Cappuccino among soups; Grilled Chicken and Olive salad and Penne in Thousand Island among salads; Focaccia with Chicken and Mozzarella and Bruschetta among sandwiches; snacks like Chicken Cutlet A L’Indienne and Crunchy Coriander Pomfret; desserts like Hot Chocolate Nut Sundae and Almond and Cognac Cake. One mostly reads about such dishes in the fancy restaurant menu cards but now through this book their secret is well within your reach.

 | There is more to Chinese cookery than woks and stir-fries. And
when it catches the attention of a Master Chef, wonderful things start happening
to mundane ingredients like rice, noodles and vegetables. The subtle
combinations of aromatic flavourings and spices find pride of place in the 'Best
of Chinese Cooking' by Sanjeev Kapoor.
As the popular Chinese proverb
says 'A good meal is eaten first with the eyes, then with the nose and finally
with the mouth', special attention has been paid to the presentation of each
dish apart from the taste.
The wide-ranging collection of soups,
starters, chicken, lamb, rice, noodles and vegetables emphasise healthy cooking
techniques and attractive presentation. As sauces are the basis of most recipes,
there is a separate section devoted to these recipes; not to forget the special
edition of chinese desserts with a difference. |

 | This book is the first in the series called "Khana Khazana:
Celebration of Indian Cookery" which has been planned in order to familiarize
food lovers with long forgotten regional cuisines of India. These recipes will
open the doors to the unexplored range of recipes that had been relegated to the
archives.
A lot of painstaking research has gone into collecting these
recipes. Each state and region included in this book has its own cuisine and
local flavour. In this book we have introduced a variety of dishes that have
been perfected by our ancestors. At the same time care has been taken to ensure
that the ingredients used are easily available and if not, a substitute has been
suggested. Chettinad Fried Chicken, Kombdi Wada, Chingri Malai Curry, Rayalseema
Pesarettu, Kolhapuri Pandhra Rassa, Kesari Rajbhog, Khajoori Shahi Tukra are
just a glimpse of the fabulous tongue tickling recipes you will find between the
two covers of this book. They will not only bring in India's diversity into your
home kitchens but also help you to satiate the best of gourmet palates. |

of heroes long gone. A proud land so rich in history and nature’s bounty is
bound to have a cuisine that is as glorious and exciting.
Konkan food has

devoted following for this distinct cuisine. Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, who is
a strong proponent of home cooking now makes the most well kept secrets of the
traditional recipes accessible to everyone in the Konkan Cookbook. Written in
his characteristic simple and logical format, he helps you find the right
ingredients and tips for authentic results. The dishes cover the traditional
fare of Malwan, Goa and Mangalore.

flavoursome sea change with the sourness of kokum and the aroma of triphal. Sip

Brinjals (Bharli Vangi) and Potatoes in Spicy Manglorean Gravy (Batata Humman),

 | Though "Khazana of Healthy Tasty Recipes" is full of well
balanced low calorie recipes, there were many who could not quite relate to the
title 'Healthy Tasty Recipes' and still asked for 'Low Calorie
Recipes'.
This compilation therefore is the result of the demand and need
for a book on 'Vegetarian Low Calorie Recipes'. Sedentary life styles and
virtually no time to exercise forces many to go in for foods that are low in
calories. Added to this is the general understanding that to lose weight or to
maintain a steady weight one has to depend on low calorie food. Great care has
been taken to ensure that while the recipes are low calorie, their taste does
not suffer.
Though the recipes here have been chosen from in and out of
India, they have all been altered to suit the Indian taste. Some of the exoticas
that can be found in this book are Creamed Pumpkin and Apple Soup, Vegetable
Fried Rice with Herbs, Cyprus Tomato Soup, Orange Broccoli, Slimmer's Salad in
No Oil Dressing, Kesari Phirni which will give a fair idea of the treasures that
can be found within its covers. |
