“Thank you very much! It is very nicely and practically presented, with great recipes. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series.”

“I just opened it yesterday and found the pages turned easily, the writing was easy to read and I liked the format for recipes and quantities.  I immediately sent one to a friend and donor and gave one to my wife for our restaurant. I will definitely buy the next one off the press.  Thank you, Prabhuji.......”

“Your cook book is great - very easy to follow the recipes. It is going to make cooking for big

occasions easy. Like the quotes on each page very much. nice to have the "ring" binder type book - very practical. Looking forward to other series of books.”

“I had the fortune to directly experience Sunanda Prabhu's devotional cooking skills through the late 80's and the 90's in the many Prasadam distribution programs and festivals that he catered at that time. Needless to say, I was very excited when I found that he was putting together a series of large quantity cooking recipe books, so I got the first one of the series, "The Kitchen Religion - Rice". Presently I am cooking for the Sunday feast and festivals in our ISKCON Naperville Center in the suburbs of Chicago, and for the last two Sundays I have tried two different recipes with beautiful results. The directions and measurements are simple and accurate, so far I tried the recipes for 100 people as well as for 4 people with an equal nice result. I am grateful to Sunanda Prabhu for sharing his knowledge and experience and I am looking forward to the next books in the series. My congratulations and best wishes to Sunanda Prabhu for his wonderful contribution to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON movement.”

“Your measuring charts are brilliant – just what was so badly needed.”

 

 

“The recipes seem wonderful and I am looking forward to making some soon. “

 

 

“Your first book on Rice is excellent, I can't wait to see (and use ) the whole set... Please finish.”

 

 

“Now, because of your effort and dedication, a deity cook or a householder cook could help with a Sunday Feast or festival with confidence.”

 

 

“Last, and most ecstatically of all, is how you did the increases on a grid with the ingredients. Like WOW prabhu.... stroke of genius there.”

 

 

“I'm glad your recipes are for small groups of people so I can try out some recipes for the Bhagavad Gita class…..We all look forward to the rest of your cookbooks.”

 

 

 “We have a nice Sunday feast for 100 to 150 devotees. The book is great, I am grateful that you are sharing your knowledge and experience on big quantity cooking.”

 

 

"Prabhu, thank you for your beautiful cookbook, we love our new rice cookbook, especially the quantity part. We are looking foward to the rest. It will come in handy as we try to distribute lots of prasadam down da bayou!"

 

 

“The layout of the book is very easy to use and the recipes are varied and easy to follow. Coming from a country like Indonesia, where rice is essential at every meal, to have a book filled with varieties on how to cook it is a gem. I look forward to the halava recipes! Thank you!”

 

 

“Congratulations again on the new series. It is a much needed addition to the line of Krishna cookbooks and a wonderful offering to our beloved Guru Maharaja Srila Prabhupada.”

 

 

“If you are a good cook and know your math you can even use these recipes for 4 people. Actually you don't have to be a good cook to make these easy recipes.”

 

 

“I love this cookbook. The recipes are great!”
