Now beautifully repackaged in convenient paperback format, Indian for
Everyone is the third book by Anupy Singla, former broadcast journalist
turned foodie blogger turned best-selling author.
This book is by far Singla's most stunning and comprehensive offering
yet. Singla is America's favorite authority on Indian home cooking, and
her expertise with delicious, healthful recipes and her commitment to
simple family-style cooking has endeared her to fans the world over. If
readers are going to choose an Indian cookbook to own, they will find
none better than this one.
This new book expands on Singla's previous titles, the best-selling
Indian Slow Cooker and Vegan Indian Cooking, and opens up the true
simplicity and flavor of Indian food for anyone, regardless of dietary
restrictions, level of expertise, and familiarity with Indian food.
Singla has chosen the most popular dishes in Indian cooking and, unlike
other Indian cookbooks, embedded different preparation styles and
ingredients into every recipe. Included are quick-and-easy adaptations
for making a meal vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free, as well as
alternative methods for preparing a recipe in a slow cooker instead of
on the stove-top. This sort of unique flexibility makes Indian for
Everyone a book that is perfect for anyone.
This book is for Indian food lovers who live for the cuisine's
diversity, as Singla includes both Punjabi recipes and many other
regional styles from across India. This book is also for skeptics who
claim to hate the taste of curry or feel Indian food is too spicy. They
will learn how traditional Indian cooking eschews curry powder or how
any recipe can be made as mild as desired. This book is for beginners,
offering step-by-step instructions on spices and techniques. This book
is for seasoned Indian cooks as a reference point for their favorite
dishes, including little-known instructions and standard cook times
their mothers and grandmothers never wrote down. This is for meat eaters
who can't resist tandoori chicken, minced lamb, and fish. This is for
vegan and vegetarians who want real and tested alternatives to meat
recipes that celebrates whole food choices, rather than just making them
a sidebar. This is for healthy eaters who want to know if you can bake a
samosa rather than fry it, if you can substitute quinoa for rice, and if
there are gluten-free Indian bread options. This is for folks with
allergies and dietary preferences. This is for Indian food lovers who
eat delicious restaurant meals and want to replicate them at home.
There is no Indian cookbook available that is more inclusive, more
welcoming, and more adaptable to any given reader's tastes, across all
its 125 recipes. The stories behind these recipes are richly detailed
and personal, and readers will see how traditional Indian cooking helped
connect Singla and her daughters to their cultural heritage, while also
connecting American families to new, healthy eating choices. Whether you
are a vegan or meat lover, gluten-free or pro-naan, an experienced chef
or an amateur home cook, Singla appreciates that most of us are looking
for great taste, nutritious ingredients, and easy preparation. Her books
have ushered Indian spices and cooking into homes across the country.
More than the next great Indian cookbook, this is the next great
American cookbook that will be a staple of every family's collection.
