Delicious recipes that are easy to follow - what's not to love? I really enjoyed experimenting with some of these recipes at home (although the spice level was occasionally too much for my palate.) I would recommend this for experienced or novice cooks alike.

I did not read 30 Minute Mowgli by Nisha Katona through an educator lens.

30 Minute Mowgli by Nisha Katona is one I had a hard time reviewing with my ARC copy because of the limited sample. With only four recipes, it was hard to gauge what this cookbook would really be like. The photography did look great and made the dishes appetizing.

I received a sample copy of 30 Minute Mowgli: Fast Easy Indian from the Mowgli Home Kitchen from NetGalley. The sample was so small that it was impossible to know if the recipes are for dishes that anybody would want to make. The very few recipes sounded okay, and were written in the traditional manner; they seemed easy to follow. There were also photos of the recipes. However, this small sample isn’t enough to decide whether this cookbook is worth purchasing. I give it a thumbs down, since there are dozens of good Indian cookbooks out there that cooks can actually read and peruse the recipes

I have the original Mowgli cookbook, which I use regularly, so was very much looking forward to 30 Minute Mowgli. I was not disappointed. The recipes are ready to follow and delicious. It has become my new favourite.

I really love the look of this book the images and recipes look amazing.

I would’ve liked to have seen more in the sample to get a real feel for the book. I am tempted to purchase it as the restaurant is one of my favourite places to eat.

I've always wanted to go to a Mowgli restaurant - I've been told by friends that the food is amazing! I was disappointed in the lack of vegan/veggie dishes in this recipe book though.

Flavorful, healthy and an inspired update on curries and other Indian dishes. Fast preparation means delicious meals in almost minutes for the busy family, professionals, and really anyone else who enjoys Indian food. Recommended.

30 Minute Mowgli by Nisha Katona was just a sampler of a book to review and it was an interesting find. I loved this 12 page sampler I asked for it for Christmas.......This book is well illustrated throughout. I loved reading Nisha's history about her growing up and how she opened her Mowgli restaurants.

A must have Book for your Kitchen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Watkins the publisher for the opportunity to read and review an advanced reader's copy of this book. This in no way affects my review, all opinions are my own.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

(SAMPLER COPY)
30 Minute Mowgli is a mouthwatering cookbookby Nisha Katona who is a TV CHEF as well as the face and creator of the Mowgli Indian restaurants.
This was only a sampler of the book but it got my taste buds tingling! This book looks well laid out and helps you to create your own authentic dishes within 30 minutes and doesn't break the bank to cook. This cook book is made for people at home and seems to be healthily curated with different ingredients to suit all tastes.

Well that's now on my Christmas list.
What a great book with amazing recipes. Well written, easy to follow and delicious. Wish it had been the whole book.

I too hadn't realised when requesting this book that it would only be a 4 recipe Sampler. I absolutely love Indian food and on the pretence of being able to cook it in under 30 minutes I felt this recipe cookbook would be right up my street.
Unfortunately, of the recipes given I don't much like fruity dishes (Pineapple & Mango) or fish dishes (Salmon) so I am unable to give an accurate review at this time.

Thank you all the same for considering me for the book.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this cookbook early! I adored it! I have a copy of their other book and it is so cherished within my collection. I find their recipes fail safe, no matter the level of ability of the cook. This is no exception. The dishes are delicious and the ingredients are widely available. Highly, highly recommend

I love the idea of being able to make tasty, interesting food in 30 minutes, 30 Minute Mowgli does just that.
Clear, easy to follow recipes help you create dishes that I previously thought you needed hours to make.

A good addition to any busy cooks book shelf.

I was given a preview sample of 30 Minute Mowgli by NetGalley and the publishers.

Beautiful recipes. Easy to follow.

This collection provides much needed inspiration for weekday night dinners with a little more pizzazz. The ingredients are mainly things you might already have, but if not, you could build a collection of and use in the production of many different meals.

I liked the style of the recipes and found many of the details included reassuring. As a family, we have enjoyed many recipes from this collection already, and plan on attempting some of the dessert recipes over the coming weeks.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the food served in the Mowgli restaurants, but also to anyone who'd like to add greater variety to their repertoire of home cooked meals. These are quick meals, but also recipes to impress visitors with.

I try to introduce new cuisines to my kids and this is the perfect cookbook! Quick cooking recipes with easy to follow instructions. The pictures made my stomach growl.

I love Mowgli and this sample gives you a good idea of the new cookbook, which aims to reduce the time you spend in the kitchen. I will definitely be picking up the new book once published
