The Complete Bundle

I’m a Gujju and have been vegan for 16 years. One reason I bought this book is that I trust someone who learned Indian cooking from the ground up, driven by passion and curiosity. Sometimes people who grow up with a cuisine can be biased toward their own region, whereas Jake approaches it as a student of the whole tradition. I learn languages by understanding the grammar, not just memorising phrases, and I learn music through theory, not just a few chords. This book approaches Indian cooking in the same way: it explains the underlying systems, techniques and flavour logic rather than just giving recipes. My long-term goal is to cook vegan food confidently from all regions of India. This book has already been incredibly inspiring for that journey. It wasn’t cheap, but I’m very glad I bought it.

Recipes are authentic, I wish there was a bundle with just the books with recipes. The content of other books is great for people who are not aware of indian cooking spices.
