Nine titles by Tarla Dalal, a pioneering Indian food writer and cookbook author known for making vegetarian cooking accessible and practical for the home kitchen. Often compared to Julia Child for her role in shaping modern Indian home cooking, Dalal introduced generations of readers to both traditional Indian dishes and adapted international cuisines.

Across these volumes, Dalal presents a wide range of recipes—from regional Indian vegetarian cooking to international cuisines such as Mexican, Chinese, and Italian—alongside everyday cooking, snacks, and menu-oriented dishes, reflecting her broad appeal and practical style.

All volumes hardcover with dust jackets. Clean working condition. Tarla Dalal’s books are known for relatively delicate construction, with dust jackets manufactured slightly taller than the boards; light wear and mild curling at the upper edges are typical and present here. The lower edge of Mocktails & Snacks shows mild wear. Considering their fragility, these books are in the best repair I have seen her books in.
