Masala Lab: The Science of Indian Cooking

A fascinating book that’s definitely worth buying and owning.

I am one of those haphazard cooks who will eat a salad than cook for fear of washing dishes with burnt food. This is a life saver . Read it in one go the day it was delivered . Lot of good tips , and smile triggers . My pots are also very grateful

Somewhat detailed, but really interesting

Good content, it’s not a reading book, it’s a studying book so the book needs to be much bigger to be practical, double of the size, to make easier to compare and to see better the many charts provided.

The sheer writing style and elegance that Krish Ashok has in conveying food-related topics is fascinating. Great read for evenings after a long work day.

This book has given me much insight into the fundamentals of Indian cooking. I have little experience in cooking, but the information in the book has emboldened me to try some dishes based on the advice given in the book. The book is well-written, and the author is funny.

Great book with thorough explanations and recipes to test and try. Simple and lucid prose makes the book engaging and easy to comprehend. Must buy especially at this price.
