    Quoted: ANY American cook who longs to plunge deeply into the cuisine of India is bound to grow impatient with the cookbooks offered by major United States publishers. Wonderful though many of those books are, their scope looks awfully limited stacked up against the riches now found in the innumerable grocery shops and restaurants that the Indian diaspora has brought here.

    So true. I wish Indian-American restaurants would serve Bengali food...it's so delicious and very unique, especially if you love sea food. I want to check out these books.
