"Kurma .. has a gentle style that is a happy contrast
to the frantic and frenzied style of most television cooks. His subtle wit and enthusiasm, combined with
his fabulous-looking dishes, can renew your culinary excitement and creativity."
(Vegetarian Times)

"Meat-eaters and vegetarians alike will certainly find something to fit the bill in More Great Vegetarian
Dishes of the World on SBS with Kurma Dasa"
(Screen Watch, The Australian, May 2000)

"Kurma’s likeable personality makes it a totally fun experience."
(Hinduism Today)

"Cooking With Kurma .. is an excellent and welcomed addition to our cooking program line-up."
(Jeff Clarke, Houston PBS)

"We really enjoy Kurma's no-frills, no gimmicks television show. His enthusiasm for vegetarian food is infectious. ... Highly recommended."
(Brisbane Courier Mail, December 2000)

"While Kurma may be the high priest of vegetarian cuisine, you don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy his cooking. It's fresh, original and delicious!"
(The Canberra Chronicle, December 2000)

"Our rating: simply delectable"
(Canberra Times, March 1999)
