Review
“A joy to cook from as well as to read, this is a great addition to any cookbook collection … exquisite photography … recipes are simple, filled with comfort, and easy to execute … Fans of Indian cuisine will love the rice dishes, robust chutneys, and many vegetarian options, like pea and paneer curry and mung dhal. Ismail-Singer’s observation that home is wherever family is reflects the beauty of her recipes and her life journey." -- Booklist on Ashia's Table
“Ashia Ismail-Singer’s vibrant cookbook shares Indian recipes that are influenced and intensified by family and regional tastes … Welcoming and informative, Ashia’s Table stresses that Indian cooking shouldn’t seem complicated or intimidating. Engaging memoir elements wend in, and the text is brightened with family snapshots. An elegant collection of recipes that’s suited to pass on to next generations, Ashia’s Table brings new elements to Indian cuisine, preserving traditions while ‘creating food that spans generations, geography, and ethnicity.’” -- ―Foreword on Ashia's Table
“[A] heartfelt tribute and solid introduction to Indian cooking. Food writer Ismail-Singer ably proves that ‘Indian food does not have to be complicated’ in this excellent debut packed with simple yet satisfying recipes inspired by her heritage. A descendant of Memon Muslims in western India … many of the dishes on offer… showcase a tantalizing blend of traditions … Thanks to her straightforward instructions, even those less versed in cooking Indian cuisine will find her recipes—including those for more time-consuming dishes such as chicken biryani and gulab jamun (fried dough balls soaked in syrup)—easy to execute.” -- Publishers Weekly on Ashia's Table
“[A]n an excellent book for those willing to try fusion Indian cuisine.” -- San Francisco Book Review on Ashia's Table
