Praise for The Dance of Spices
"The Dance of Spices is filled with excellent, authentic curries, as well as dishes rarely explored in American home kitchens such as street-fare chaats. With this book, Laxmi Hiremath proves herself a skilled, intuitive teacher of real Indian cooking." --Paula Wolfert, author of the award-winning The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen
"Laxmi's book is a clearly explained, friendly invitation to cook Indian food with confidence and pleasure." --Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid, authors of Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey through Southeast Asia; Home Baking; Seductions of Rice; and Flatbreads & Flavors
"The Dance of Spices is a hands-on cooking class. (It) provides one with the information to truly understand and prepare a delicious Indian curry. I love that Laxmi includes information on history and social customs, as well as personal anecdotes to supplement the recipes."
--Roxanne Klein, chef and coauthor of Raw
