For all you folks interested in Indian cooking, Madhur Jaffrey now
has a program on public television. It's called "Madhur Jaffrey's
Indian Cooking" and is aired at 10:30 a.m. on Saturdays on Channel
9 in the San Francisco Bay area. Look up your local listings for
the time it is aired in your area.

If the local station doesn't carry this program, then calling the station and talking to the program director about this program (its value and its audience) may help to get it on the local station. I found PBS stations very 'friendly' since they get much of their funding from the viewers of their programs. I don't know how Canadian [CBC] or British [BBC] stations take to 'suggestions.' To those trying to 'influence' their local station into taking on this show, knowing who (which PBS station(s)) produced it may help in 'locating' it. Since I'm not in the S.F. area, I'm not aware of the show's producers. With this show, will Madhur Jaffrey become the 'Julia Child' of Indian Cooking? How does her cookbooks compare to those of any other author of Indian cookbooks (in being able to get the results with whatever instructions that are given in the book)? Any good cookbooks on Indian regional dishes? Sunil Trivedi P.O.

Highly recommended by both Indian and American friends. Seems she walks the narrow line between oversimplifying recipes into banality and giving the full nine yards of ridiculous detail (ie: the stuff well beyond the point of diminishing returns, which is fine if you have servants to do all the tedious work but otherwise is a royal pain.) Has been compared to a $35 bottle of champagne. Costly enough to be superb, cheap enough to afford. She also gives reasonable substitutes for hard to find ingredients. -- Internet: nemo@rochester.arpa UUCP: {decvax, allegra, seismo, cmcl2}!rochester!nemo Phone: [USA] (716) 275-5766 work, 232-4690 home USMail: 104 Tremont Circle; Rochester, NY 14608 School: Department of Computer Science; University of Rochester; Rochester, NY 14627

Madhur Jaffrey also wrote a superb vetetarian cookbook, "World of the East Vegetarian Cooking." She includes recipes from all over Asia. Her writing style is sufficiently entertaining that I can sit down and browse through the book just to pass the time. There is a very complete glossary in the back telling about all the unusual ingredients and often what to use if you can't get them. Best of all, she tells how to use your food processor to speed up the preparation. She also is refreshingly nonpreachy about using pre-made ingredients: none of the "well, you can use store-bought tofu if you REALLY need to but you should really make it yourself." This is definately a 4-star cookbook. -paul asente
