"...it would be hard to imagine a warmer, more easygoing
introduction to Indian cuisine in North America than the one put
together by the Vancouver restaurateurs Meeru Dhalwala and Vikram
Vij in their Vij's at Home: Relax, Honey"--Sam Sifton, The New York
Times "[Dhalwala and Vij] simplify Indian cooking for North
American home cooks without sacrificing the integrity of the
cuisine. ...A friendly, accessible book in which many cooks will
delight. Recommended."--Library Journal "this cookbook underscores
how simple Indian cooking can be and how attainable it can be even
on busy weekdays if you've got the basic ingredients on
hand."--Portland Oregonian "...easily among the finest Indian
restaurants in the world"--Mark Bittman, The New York Times "Vij's
is at once an excellent restaurant and a curious one, Indian
without being doctrinaire about it, utopian without being
political."--Sam Sifton, New York Times Magazine
