I am a Tamil woman born and raised in the United States, married to a Tamil man born and raised in India. My mom is an exceptional cook whose dishes are known throughout the SF Bay Area and beyond. Unfortunately, I wasn't wise enough to learn from her before I got married and moved away from home! This book is a godsend. Last night I made vatral kozhambu, sambar, potato curry, and dal kootu for several members of my family who are older and very picky about their food. They all raved about the food and confirmed that it was indeed authentic. My husband is also amazed by how consistently well my food turns out to be when I use the recipes in this book. The pictures in the book are beautiful and definitely encourage you to try out the recipes. I have probably tried about 20 recipes in the book and all of them have turned out wonderfully. Some people complain about the heavy use of red chili in this book -- my husband and I like our food very spicy so that is not an issue with us, but you can certainly adjust the amount of spice and the food will still be excellent. I do agree with other readers that some of the recipes are on the elaborate side and may use more ingredients than necessary. This isn't necessarily the best book for a total beginner. However, if you have cooked south Indian food before or you are willing to roll up your sleeves and try it out, you are in for a treat. I also want to comment on some readers who say that the recipes in the book are not that healthy. Here is what I do to optimize health without compromising the taste of the food: I only cook with olive oil, I use a lot more dal in the sambars and the kootuhs than what the author calls for, I use very little to almost no coconut in the poriyals, and use very little coconut in the kootuhs, maybe about a quarter of what the author recommends. With these small changes, the food is very healthy but still delicious! The other point about this book is that many of the recipes can be adjusted for a certain vegetable -- for example, the cabbage poriyal can also be made with beans or brussel sprouts. I can't recommend this book highly enough, and have even begun purchasing them for my friends/family members.
