Dishoom

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.

Packaging: I love the fact that this book is exactly as it’s shown in the picture a brand new one. Book : People who love Indian cooking can buy this without a doubt. The book is divided into 5 to 6 sections and the writing is so easy for beginners. Just go for it. Happy cooking guys 👍🏼

South Bombay, food and culture.....an overall experience

Arrived in perfect condition, a must have for anyone interested in cooking and eating!

Got this book today recipes ,stories is great Over all a very good book it seems. But came in such a damaged state

One of the finest books on Parsi cuisine and the culture of Bombay.

Excellent!

This book recreates the magic that Bombay exudes and how food is such an integral part of this magic- both the place and food are very close to my heart.

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 THE Mumbai cookbook. Literal standard bearer for cookbooks. It’s not pedantic or complicated with weird English. Just (short) interesting stories, beautiful photographs and PERFECT recipes. Meaning the measurements and directions are so on point and accurate. You can not mess it up which is important given how many expensive ingredients Indian food has. Americans should buy Anchor Hocking glass measuring cups (4 cup and 2 cup) when you buy this. It will have liters and grams printed alongside the ounces which will take all the thinking out of the British measurements. You can just measure like you normally would. Whenever my “Angrezi” friends (white) ask for an Indian recipe or cookbook, this is the one. Clear, concise, accurate and DELICIOUS. Printed in Italy, this is the book to have when it comes to Indian cooking. Bear in mind India is a very big country/sub continent and these are not all encompassing. No butter chicken type stuff. But I would go so far as to compare this to the Julia Child cookbook for French cooking, it’s a must have in this day and age of internet recipes, you will actually use this one to look things up and will not need to sift through reviews to find the best one. Especially the desserts; Indian desserts are complicated and these are perfectly authentic and explained. We’ll worth the money.

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.

Londra’da yediğim en lezzetli yemekleri yapan restoranlardan birisiydi Dishoom. Kitap öğünlere göre bölümlere ayrılmış; bölümlerde o öğünün kültürdeki yeri anlatılıyor, sonra da tariflere geçiyor. Yalnız benim gibi kitap konusunda kılı kırk yaran ve aşırı titiz birisine yine lekeli bir kapak geldi maalesef. Amazon bu konuda artık daha dikkatli olmalı... Bir yıldızı oradan kırdım.
