Family Secrets: The Khan Family Cookbook

This is a very easy cookbook to follow. all recipes have only a few ingredients and the steps are v simple too.

More glamorized, some recipes are good but few others have wrong name as per recipe. Also in some no mention of salt in recipes.

The recipes are amazing and can not wait to try out some. I loved the way this book is done with lots of family photographs and the background. I grew up seeing handsome Sanjay Khan and his beautiful wife in 70s, so it was really nice to know more about them thru this book. This is not just a cooking book, it makes a beautiful coffee table book as well :)

Dont even bother to buy. Someone gifted this to me and I am so glad I didnt waste my money buying it. Recipes are written haphazard, and instructions not clear. Tried a couple recipes.. lets say bland, tasteless and horrible. I honestly doubt this woman actually cooks. Saw her live show on Tv and it confirmed my suspicions. Seems to me she asked her cook for the recipes and these were written down with no trial before making a book. And oh the Fonts and color of the text is so light and small,Its hard to read. So not worth it. Sorry Zarine

Pros: Lots of recipesCons: 1. The ingredient measurements are totally wrong. Everything is random. If you will sit down to actually make a recipe, you would not know where to start from. Most of the recipes have Chicken mentioned as 2 chicken. Now what does that mean? It can be 750gms, 1kg or 2kg. But how to figure that out. So randomly all the ingridients have been listed without trying it for herself. All the recipes are for a family of 8 to 15 ppl. And you cannot customise the recipe for a family of four as the ingredients are not mentioned correctly. So this book is definitely not for a new cook. Even experienced cooks would not know how to customise this.2. Not all recipes are accompanied with a photo. So out of say 180 recipes only 10 recipes have a picture. So keep guessing if the end result would be thick or Gravy like.3. She has made a menu to show what dish will go with what. Again not written well so confusing.4. Clear instructions have not been given as to how to cook a recipe. So again keep guessing what to and how to do it.Very disappointed with the way this book has turned out. It is as vague as her show on Living Foodz.

I love this book I love the way it is laid out, I especially love the way the recipes are set out, each one follow a step by step format. If I was to write a book it is exactly the way I would set it out.The Biryani recipe is fantastic, the best I have ever had, I have eaten at the Taj in Hyderabad which boasts the best Biryani in India. I beg to differ.

Not a good cookbook at all...she is getting away cos she is married into an eminent family..quality and way she had narrated recipes ..not good!!!

Recipes not tried & tested i think. Anyway book is not meant for the budding cook

Not worth buying
