As much as i love eating, i do cook and bake as well.. didnt cook that much of variety before i got married. The interest developed more after i got married! Used to go to the library many times to borrow some cooking books. There is one cooking book which i really love by MEENA PATHAK. Here u can see the imagine below;

| Indian cooking book by Meena Pathak |
Bought this one five years ago for 14.99 pounds. I simply love this cook book for few reasons. One, it gave introduction on the use and characteristics on each of the basic/common Indian herbs and spices. When u are cooking using new type of spices, its good to know what is the affect of the spices on the dish.. sour? bitter? sweet? spicy? pungent? for colours? aromas? I personally feel that this cooking book is very practical and easy to follow even for beginners! As long u have the interest, nothing is impossible! This book has delicious recipes on starters, snacks, soups, various types on curries ; seafood, chicken, pork, beef, mutton, eggs, rice dishes, vegetables dishes, rotis, paratha, chapatti, and of course desserts and drinks! My husband is always the 'guinea pig' or shall i say the critics of my cooking! He adores and really appreciate my cooking! of course sometimes when something doesn't taste quite right with it, he will comment about it too... but critics just keep me moving! that way i know what is the lack in my cooking! I often use this cook book as my guideline when ever i have some guest coming over,.. getting lots of compliment from it! So, i am really loving this cookbook!
