The Bollywood Cookbook: The Glamorous World of the Actors and Over 75 of Their Favorite Recipes

by Bulbul Mankani

The chutzpah of Bollywood is a reflection of how we feel about food. There is a constant celebration, the mingling of colors and flavors, the near excess of emotive breathlessness. There is no better way to sample the high life of India than to see what the Bollywood royals eat and enjoy. Bulbul Mankani celebrates the sensuality and vibrancy of Bollywood by marrying it with the food of the stars.

gerechten net zo kleurrijk als de Bollywood films,
leuke invalshoek voor een kookboek.
Een paar van die recepten zullen ook tot de top van mijn voor herhaling vatbare recepten gaan behoren. Beroemde indiase acteurs en hun lievelingsrecepten.
Zoals de Gulab Jamun; gefrituurde balletjes in rozenwatersiroop.

Beautiful glossy photos of the food and the bollywood stars.They introduce you to the career of the star and then their favorite Indian recipe.Yum!

The book is pretty but the recipes are rubbish. I've tried quite a few and none of them have turned out good. They're all lacking a type of balance that you expect with Indian cuisine.
