Though her latest cookbook is not vegetarian, there are plenty of tempting and healthy dishes for vegetarians and vegans to try and enjoy. Those that fancy meat and fish will also not be disappointed. The curious cook will find recipes for spice blends, starters, soups, vegetables, dals, grains, condiments, drinks and even desserts. One of the most appealing aspects of Ms. Jaffrey's books is that she makes Indian cuisine accessible and easy for those inexperienced with traditional Indian cooking and for those who are more familiar with Indian techniques, the possibilities to created unique and wholesome dishes are endless. All of her recipes can be made with ease without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Her descriptions of Indian traditions and cooking techniques are invaluable and the personal anecdotes are charming. Well written and beautifully presented, this is certainly a volume you will want to add to your cookbook collection.
Soon I will be sharing her recipe for Chickpeas with Mushrooms which turned out beautifully.
I've decided to offer my readers a chance to win this cookbook. For a chance to win simply leave a comment in the comment section by the 25th of December. I will ship out the book to the winner of the random draw in the New Year. Because of postage costs, I am sorry but this giveaway contest is only open to residents of Canada and the US.

For some reason, I don't own any of her cookbooks. And that's an oversight that I'll need to rectify, and soon. I do love Indian food, and not just because it's always so flavorful *and* vegetarian! :)
(LOL at the copyright, btw. First time I actually paid attention to that! You go!)
I truly enjoy your website. I have tried many of your recipies and find them to be excellent.
Thanks for sharing all of your recipies and knowledge...

I would love a copy! My wife and I are always trying to perfect Indian food, but it never comes out as good as it should.
I know my roommates would love if I had another indian cookbook! Thanks for your great blog.
I saw her on Martha Stewart cooking from this cookbook....sounded really yummy! Thanks for a chance to win!
I only had success trying her recipes. She inspires me a lot.
Oh, I hope to win this! I have her world vegetarian cookbook and absolutely love it.
I so love your blog and fantasize about all the yummy dishes! Someday perhaps cooking will be high on my priority list...maybe just for a week...and I will explore my favorite recipes for Chickpeas!!!! Meanwhile, it's usually rice in the cooker with steamed veggies on top; simple.
Am way interested in this! Would love to win a copy. Thanks!
I adore Madhur Jaffrey!! She is so good.
Lisa I have been wanting to write to you. Hopefully can make it by this weekend.

I have her other cookbooks, too, and use them all the time. I'd love to have this one.
Sounds like a great cookbook. Count me in on the give a way.
Lovely giveaway...would love to become a happy owner of this book, but unfortunately am living either in US & Canada..
I recently got my notoriously picky girlfriend to try Indian food and she loved it. It would be great to have this cookbook to get her to try even more recipes!
I really like experimenting with this type of cooking and love the tastes and textures. Thanks for bringing this to light!
I'd love to win a copy of this cookbook!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Of course dear, I sooooooooo want to get that book :)

I love cookbooks and finding new to me recipes. This is a new to me author & I would love to win this book.
Yay! Love Madhur Jaffrey and love this blog!
What a lovely gesture to buy two books, one for your readers. Postages do cost a lot of money but can we participate and give the book to a friend living in the United States or Canada?
love ur space for healthy vegetarian cooking...would love to win!!
I would love to try this cookbook! Thanks for doing this!

Yes, of course Ivy.
I love cooking Indian food and Madhur Jaffrey's recipes are fabulous.
Happy Holidays to you!

I love Madhur Jaffrey's recipes- how fun that she found the time to write yet another cookbook.
You're very sweet to give away a copy!
This is a great give away. I made one of her recipes with butternut squash, chickpeas and couscous. I absolutely love it and have made it repeatly. I would love to try her other recipes.
ooh, I don't own any of her cookbooks yet.
oo i would love to try some sri lankan recipes. i'm not sure if i'm eligible to win a copy - i'm in london, UK!! love your blog though so many delicious dishes!!thanks.
sounds like I should give her another try - I actually have a book by Madhur Jaffrey that I have never cooked from - so I am not too bothered that I am not eligible - I actually have found indian recipes online more accessible for me - not sure why
Do give her another try Johanna. The recipes are so easy to follow and the results are never disappointing. She has long been an inspiration to me.
Lisa what an awesome giveaway! I don't comment much but I'm always reading and Madhur Jaffrey is a favorite of mine!
I love her! I have her world of the east vegetarian cookbook - it is so educational and fun. Would love to see what her newer books are like.
I really like her earlier book "Eastern Vegetarian Cooking". Highly recommended (though not for people who need pretty pictures in their cookbooks - it doesn't have those - recipes are fab though).
(Not writing to enter your competition - I am not in North America - but just writing to rave about a favourite cookbook.)
I keep meaning to get a copy of this!
just came across this blog from Bittersweet6. THanks for sharing!
Pick me! Pick me to win a cookbook! Please?
Two copies! I love how you are sharing one. I have been trying to incorporate more Indian cooking into my repertoire, and I love to try it with cookbooks that don't call for "curry powder". This would be perfect. :)
Happy Holidays Lisa..Love Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian. Would love to have her latest book.

Love your blog & would love to win the book.
Lovely choice. B/C I am a personal friend, I am not eligible to win, but I do have a number of Jaffrey's books which have all been positive additions to my vast cookbook collection. : )
Sounds like a yummy book to own!
I gave My Quick and Easy Indian Cooking to my daughter when she got her first apartment in college this past August.
I would love to own this book, because M.J. is an icon of Indian recipes and traditions.
Thanks.
Oooh, I'd love to win a Jaffrey book. I'm not a big cookbook person in general (I get my recipes off blogs like this most of the time :) ) but for her I'd make an exception.

I love her world vegetarian cook book. I have been working in the food service industry for 25 years and World Vegetarian has helped me offer tasty and nutritious vegetarian options for my guests. I enjoy your web site as well. I've tried several of your recipes and look forward to trying many more. Thanks for the site.

I have drooled over her cookbooks at the library and would love to have one for home. I'm always looking for good vegetarian recipes and we love indian food.
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to attend one of Madhur's cooking demonstrations - loved every minute of it. I'd love the opportunity to have this book!
I love the site. I'm vegetarian so it is nice to see something fully focused and versatile! My husband grew up in India. It would be great to have a cookbook to help me recreate his favorite dishes!
I will be offering another giveaway soon. I am going to ask readers to post their favorite Indian creations and will send a random winner a copy of 660 Curries.
