Jan. 11: We tried our first three recipes from this book last night. Our chapati, eggplant and green beans, and spicy cabbage came out most excellently. I am hesitant about future recipes, though, considering the minimum amount of powdered cayenne to be added to the cabbage was 3/4 of a teaspoon. The resulting temperature bordered on the medium/hot line and I am somewhat of a lightweight in the spice division. The eggplant, however, was awesome, as were the chapati. Very eager to try more recipes from this book.

My only problem with this is, I'm nearly allergic to coconut. I mean, it really is a turnoff. And many recipes here have it- but I wonder if I've only had like the marischino cherry version of coconut, and maybe cooking with it would be different..
Later - ok, tried a coconut vegetable curry dish at my local co-op, and it was as I expected - the coconut taste in it was barely discernible, compared to the coconut flavor in desserts etc.. So, can see about moving forward..

Everything I've made out of this book has been utterly delicious. Instructions are clear, recipes are easy to moderate difficulty. Some spices can be a bit hard to track down, but the recipes re-use a select list, so once you've found it, you know you can use it for several recipes.

I had the opportunity to take cooking lessons from Sunetra and her book contains many of the recipes that we've made. Several contain the same spices, but the flavor for each of the dishes is fairly different. I especially enjoyed anything including eggplant (a favorite vegetable).
