Dishoom: The First Ever Cookbook From The Much-Loved Indian Restaurant

What a lovely book! Large format, beautiful photos and the text is very engaging to read. This is not a cookbook in the traditional sense, it's more a cultural history with photos and a wealth of recipes. This is the type book you can open at random and start reading or start at the beginning, as the mood strikes. I have not yet cooked any of the recipes but they are easy to follow and well explained, so I'm sure the results in the kitchen will be great. I use my Kindle for most book purchases now but I purchased Dishoom in printed, book form and I strongly suggest you do as well. This is one that would loose a lot on a small screen. As a printed book it's fantastic, I can't wait to get a few oil smudges on it propped up in my kitchen next to the stove while I chop onions!

Love this cookbook!!

This is a fantastic book. I wish all cook books were like this. I am from the south of India, but this book makes you fall in love with South Mumbai. The photographs and the write ups - in addition to the recipes - are to be experienced. It was such a joy to read this book.

Ate at the Edinburgh Dishoom restaurant in August 2022 - for breakfast! It was lovely. The bacon naan wraps were incredible and the spiced eggs were a big hit (we "shared") at the table! I made the naan wraps for Christmas breakfast this year for the family - complete with never ending chai and handmade tomato relish/dipping sauce. I am ready to try out more recipes but I'm also learning about the cultures that contribute to this wonderful place and book.

This book is great I have a copy myself and buy as gifts for others. The seller however kept it in terrible condition. It arrived dirty and edges crushed.
