Mighty Spice Cookbook: Fast, Fresh and Vibrant Dishes Using No More Than 5 Spices for Each Recipe

This is a terrific cookbook. I like cooking and I love using spices, especially those in curries, but I'm not a spice expert. This cookbook helps me combine spices and ingredients in a way I might not otherwise have thought of. I have other spice cookbooks with recipes that take quite a bit of time to prepare because of the number of spices used. I like doing that, but I don't always have that much time. The recipes in this cookbook are easy to prepare and delicious. Sometimes I find a recipe I want to try, and I shop to make sure I've got the correct ingredients. Other times I just find a recipe that uses ingredients I already have. I've made quite a few of the recipes now and haven't been disappointed in any of them.I'll be using this cookbook as my go-to gift for birthdays and housewarmings and such.

I must say, I buy recipe books and never use them. This is one recipe book that I have cooked more than 7 recipes from. I first came across this book when a friend brought one of the curries to my place for dinner, I borrowed the book ad y husband didn't want me to return it as all the food was fresh and lovely. I then bought 4 copies on amazon ( tree for my friends as Christmas presents) and they also love the food that they have cooked. I don't use pre mixed curries anymore thanks to this book. It's honestly my favourite recipe book.

First, this book is amazingly beautiful with so many stunning colorful photos. My only complaint is that I wish there were more photos.With that stated, the recipes are amazing and everything tastes great.As a side note, I do not like spicy foods, as in hot foods. This book is about flavors and bringing out the intensity of healthy food choices.Bravo to the author for bringing healthy, delicious, easy recipes to our homes. No more take-out or convenience food in my house. I look forward to trying every recipe in this book. Everything is so easy and flavorful.I suggest buying this book now!

What a great book! Beautiful, hard cover, great photography. I saw this author on a local news show in Chicago and decided to give it a try. He uses 25 different spices from around the globe (some you might not have used before, but are available on line if not locally) though not more than 5 per recipe. These are all very doable, quite simple meals. So far I've tried 10 recipes (with many more sticky noted) and all have been winners. I can't wait to continue the journey through this book!

Second time I’ve owned it. The sticky Szechuan pork dish is out of this world. So good.

I've cooked several recipes from this book, especially in the vegetarian section. Easy, excellent. The follow up book does not seem appealing to me and I continue to return to this book.

Great reference book when cooking!

Fantastic combinations of spices for the uninitiated such as us. We have found only 2 dishes out of the 40 or so dishes we could have done without. Ideal for impressing prospective partners. PG

It's a joy to own this cookbook with it's lovely pictures and I look forward to having the time to cook!

Excellent. Simple to follow recipes.

We have made over two dozen of the recipes in this book and all but two came out excellent. The other two were ok (not wow like the others). That is a pretty good ratio!
