Small Impact October 17, 2008 Jane P. Gannaway (Shanghai, China) I saw this Chef on Oprah and thought the cook book would be great but it is really light weight. Recipes seem to be a lot of work for very little taste. Presentation is good.

The book itself is a wee bit of a disappointment, I had expected more exciting and vibrant food recipes and not so many drink recipes, but that has more to do with my own expectations i guess. I might use one or two recipes but it won't be my main "go to" book when looking for inspiration.

Mostly for the semi pro May 14, 2007 Brad J. Benjaminson (SoCal, USA) 9 out of 11 found this review helpful
Govind's approach to couisine is remarkable and (unconsciously) deceptive. The book's layout is completed with great quality and brilliant colors. However, not enough effort was spent for the neo-beginner, like me, to understand more about individual plates with directions including pictures of stages and completed servings. I'm not an accomplished cook by any stretch of the mind, but I do know my way around my kitchen. It's easier for me to paint by the numbers and see a finished product, then to imagine how completion may appear.
Delicious and Different May 13, 2007 C. Ramsey (Oregon) 20 out of 21 found this review helpful
Our gourmet group used this cookbook for last nights feast (and it was a feast!) We were four couples, each making two recipes. The flavors were outstanding. There was not a bad recipe in the bunch. However, for one person to make the meal that we did, would take a week of preparation. Though not dificult individually, the recipes were very time consuming. Non of us attempted the challanging recipes. The medium ones were quite difficult enough. You will not be disappointed in the results of these delicous recipes. But I highly recommend this book with the reservation that you share the responsibilities with a group of people who enjoy cooking and are adventurous.
