Vij's: Elegant and Inspired Indian Food

by Vikram Vij, Meeru Dhalwala

D&M Publishers, Inc. | August 22, 2006 | Trade Paperback

At Vij''s, one of North America''s most innovative Indian restaurants, owner Vikram Vij and his wife, Meeru Dhalwalla, use the freshest local ingredients and original ideas to create exciting new takes on the cuisines of India. Though far from traditional, the dishes remain true to one glorious hallmark of Indian cooking: fabulous spicing. Among the luscious offerings included here are yogurt and tamarind marinated grilled chicken, seared venison medallions with fig and roasted pomegranate khoa, and marinated lamb popsicles in fenugreek curry. Vegetarian selections abound, with dishes like portobello mushrooms in porcini cream curry, coconut curried vegetables, and jackfruit with cayenne and black cardamom. Recipes for naan, chapattis, raiti, and other sides, staples, vegetables, and desserts allow readers to prepare an Indian feast from beginning to end. As beautiful and sumptuous as the recipes it contains, Vij''s is a delicious manifesto for a new style of Indian cooking.

    Delicious!

    If you can't get into to Vij's, you should bring Vij's home. So far, we've only tried one recipe and it turned out to be amazing. We made the lamb popsicles and they were absolutely delicious, might I add that I don't like lamb. It was very flavorful and easy to prepare. Most of the recipes look like they are user friendly and I'm already planning what to make next. I highly recommend this book, whatever you make will impress your guests and they'll think you slaved over it.

    This is a wonderful cookbook. this was my first indian cookbook. My family and I made 3 recipes in one day and all turned out very well. We will definitely try more recipes. And will buy this book for others to enjoy. The recipes were well laid out and easy to follow.

    This book is fabulous! The descriptions are great as well as a useful spice glossary. I have made several of the recipes already and they are excellent and very flavourful. Of note are Vij's Chicken Curry, Ground Beef Curry and the Tomato Mango Curry. Mmm good! This book is a wonderful gift for someone else ... or yourself!

    This book rocks. We thought it was going to be super hard and would require ingredients we'd never find. BUT, thus far we have made 2 recipes, one more labour intensive than the other, and found all the ingredients we needed at Granville Island. Vij's family curry was super good, and not too difficult. We just made the Ground Beef Curry, and it was a bit harder, but not rocket science.
