Thank you Indira for your excellent work with this site, and thanks for bringing me this priceless resource with Veena Parrikar’s write-ups.

I was going to start hunting for a salad book stemming from similar frustrations she mentions in her article.

& Thanks Hannah for mentioning ‘library thing’ ..That is neat!!

I’m really looking forward to reading this ongoing column! I’ve started using Library Thing to catalog my books (including cookbooks) and have a number of Indian cookbooks (all published in the US) and am excited to learn more about what else is out there.

Oh this is wonderful. If only it was possible/easy to find such books in the US. I have many Indian cookbooks, many of which I treasure, and a few that fit into the categories you admire (small, often regional). But not being Indian, and traveling infrequently to India it is hard for me to track these types of books down. Nonetheless it is always my top priority when in India to buy and bring back cookbooks. If nothing else I just love reading them. I love the idea that I am cooking someone’s grandma’s food. I do my best to interpret them as best I can, not being Indian myself - and just loving the cuisine and to cook (especially lesser known regional) Indian food.

Dear Veena and Indira, allow me to chime with more of the same — what a wonderful, inspired idea! I am very much looking forward to learning more about *real* Indian cookbooks — and perhaps where I might find a few! I collect cookbooks too

I just love the photo
