Hymns from the Soil: A Vegetarian Saga Hardcover – November 6, 2014

This is an amazingly beautiful cookbook. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is the same as his book - Indian Harvest!! I bought that book first, and was so excited when I saw that he had another solely vegetarian cookbook because I really loved Indian Harvest. The only difference is the physical size of the book. Hymns from the Soil is much larger than Indian Harvest, but I went through page by page, and all the prints (recipes and pictures) are the same - at least in the Bread section that I compared thoroughly! Huge disappointment, as neither of these books are cheap. However, buying one of the two is definitely worth it. Just decide if you want a typical cookbook size (Indian Harvest) or one significantly larger (more like a coffee table photo type book).

A beautifully written book with lots of interesting information and recipes. I look forward to Vikas Khanna's new book called Utsav.

what a big and colourful book it is!!! can be kept on your coffee table, can be used as a gift,,, but best way is when you try the recipes in your kitchen for your family

Absolutely loved this one! The book is a revelation! I love how Chef Vikas explores the little nuances of every humble ingredient we use in our daily cooking. The pictures are enough to send any one into raptures of delight.

Only vegetarian so I was glad recieving it.

Not as good as I thought it would be. Please include a few pages for the buyer to review before making a buying decsion!
