It definitely isn't. I was wowed as I poured over the wealth of imaginative savory baked goods and accompanying photos. Lots of photos! I confess that I just received the book today and haven't actually baked any of the recipes. These aren't your mother's baked goods, even if you were born in Asia! I will edit my review after I have tried a few. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Cardamom and Chetna - yumminess and recipes that please the pallet. *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2017* What a beautiful book! I knew about Chetna Makan from the Great British Bake Off. I was drawn to her bakes the entire time she was on the show. Her spices, her flavor combinations and the confidence behind her recipes captivated me. The stories that accompany the recipes in the book are delightful and make the food even more meaningful- and isn't that what cooking and sharing a meal is all about? Truly unique and adventuresome yet appealing to the familiar ingredients of my usual repertoire. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices. So many of my favorite spices are included in these recipes but I've never found them all in one place! Although I've just started trying the recipes the ones I've tried are spectacular. Note: I'm a new baker but with an experienced pallet. While the spices were familiar some of the combinations were delightfully new to me. The pictures are gorgeous and helpful. Clear instructions. Most of the meat dishes look adaptable to vegetarian ( which I am). The rest of the recipes look intriguing, achievable and yummy! I can't wait to try them all! - Bradetta (aka the Gingham Altar Gal) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Innovative recipes for baking and cooking with Indian spices *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016* Chetna Makan was, famously, nearly the winner of a season of the Great British BakeOff. She made some appealing and unusual recipes, and the book is full of similar ones. If you are interested in spicing up your baking, this book will help you do so. There are a few too many not-quite-baking recipes for my preferences, but that's just me.I've made a couple of things that worked well, so the recipes themselves are reliable. You'll have to be able to translate a few British baking terms into US practice (make sure you have a scale that measures in grams). And you'll have to follow her shaping instructions carefully; they aren't always as clear as they could be. You'll also find yourself in an Indian grocery store buying a few unusual spices. But its worth it for the results and the fresh ideas. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27899763-the-cardamom-trail-chetna-bakes-with-flavours-of-the-east](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27899763-the-cardamom-trail-chetna-bakes-with-flavours-of-the-east) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
