Highly recommended by both Indian and American friends.  Seems she walks 
the narrow line between oversimplifying recipes into banality and giving
the full nine yards of ridiculous detail (ie: the stuff well beyond the
point of diminishing returns, which is fine if you have servants to do
all the tedious work but otherwise is a royal pain.)  Has been compared
to a $35 bottle of champagne.  Costly enough to be superb, cheap enough 
to afford.  She also gives reasonable substitutes for hard to find 
ingredients.
