Yes, but it's so much work getting a good Indian meal together.

Japanese is good if you have the right ingredients. You'll need to go a specialty store.

French is good. I can lose myself in that. I mean just go through the Julia Child and Jacques Pepin recipes. They tend to be very good and worth it.

Chinese is like the Himalayas of good cooking. Lot of different regional cuisines. If you get any one of them right, you are eating very well. Sichuan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Hunan. I mean, it's a good meal. Really good cooking - that's going to be Chinese.

Obviously everything will depend on your tastes.  If you are going to devote a couple of weeks to cooking, I would do French for the first week. You'll understand the importance of the quality of ingredients. Then technique. Then I'd take a stab at Chinese, particularly Sichuan  [/quote]

There are dozens of regional Indian cuisines too, and meals are very easy to put together. [/quote]

OP here,

I make a lot of individual Indian dishes, but I'd love to find resources for making an entire meal for a special occasion.  Part of what I'm interested in when I do this is in how cultures combine dishes, and what foods go together in other cultures, and in the ways food differs by region.  [/quote]
This is a book that puts together dishes to create traditional thali meals:

All of Maunika Gowardhan’s other books and recipes are also great.
