Fascinating Cook Books!

I don't remember when I started reading cook books. I guess it aroused from my voracious reading of cooking blogs. Nowadays, whenever I go to library, I take some book from the cooking section.
At present I am reading "Lord Krishna's Cuisine". It's about Indian Veg cooking. The book was stacked up in the basement reserve of the library and I had to wait a couple of days to get it. What lured me was the captivating name of the book. Having started reading it, I felt it was just a normal cook book. I was more interested in knowing what Lord Krishna used to eat.

I was more fascinated by two other cook books I recently read. "Everyday Indian" by Bal Arneson and "Monsoon Diary: A Memoir With Recipes" by Shoba Narayan. Monsoon Diary is more of a biography, beautifully told through the tales of Indian recipes. I enjoyed the book very much. The book portrays the author's life journey. It started from her infancy, proceeded through her childhood ,studies and married life. At the end of each chapter, there is a mouth watering recipe. I liked the way, it was presented.

"Everyday Indian" by Bal Arneson gives you 100 fast and healthy recipes. Apart from my husband, this is the book that created a passion for cooking in me. After reading this book, I started to use grape seed oil for cooking. Grape seed oil is rich in omega 6, contains vitamin C & E and most importantly it is not filling my apartment with the strong burning odour of oil. More than everything, the book is truly motivating. It talks about the importance of eating a healthy diet and tries to create a passion of cooking in the readers.
