5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Indian Cookbook bt The Curry Guy 9 Sep 2012
By Charlotte
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been following Dan Toombs - AKA The Curry Guy - for just over a year on Twitter and have been eagerly waiting for this book. He finally published it! I think I might have even been the first to purchase it.

I love following Dan's curry blog and have already cooked many of his recipes. This book is a collection of his most popular British Indian Restaurant styles curries. Many of the recipes are on his blog though I've noticed some have been tweaked a bit. I made the chicken tikka masala, the chicken jalfrezi and the lamb rogan josh last night and they were all fantastic.

All of the recipes are well written and easy to follow. I love the way Dan encourages the reader to contact him via Twitter and Facebook if they have any questions about his recipes. I know from experience that Dan does answer questions regularly on Twitter.

This is not a book of traditional Indian recipes like so many other cookbooks. These are the recipes that so many of us know and love from restaurants and takeaways. Most of the recipes are backed with really nice pictures so that you can see what you are going to make.

So what are the negatives?

There aren't many. I think it would have been great if Dan had photographed every recipe. I think he photographed about 90% though the missing pictures are on his blog. A section on cooking utensils might have been good too though my standard pots and pans work just fine with the recipes I've made.

Now for the positives...

Great recipes that taste better than my favourite takeaway!

The book is nicely written and obviously well thought out.

The pictures make you want to try these recipes.

I highly recommend this book.... Read more ›

By Roy McFarlane

Like others I've been following Dan on Twitter for a while now and he answers any questions or queries very quickly :) His tweets and blog posts are great for the novice cook. After trying a few of his recipes on the website I bought the ebook which is very easy to follow and can't wait until the weekends roll around to get cooking a great tasting curry, so much so, i've even enrolled in curry college starting in September!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserves 5 Stars for the Taste of the Curries I can now make 5 May 2013
By Pyelot
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
After making some of these curries I found the recipes produced curries that my family and myself just love. Once you become confident of your new 'skill' at cooking fantastic flavoured food you can start to experiment. And so its great to be able to contact the author and ask questions, read about ideas and inspirations on his web blog and from his conversation with his readers/twitter followers.

From the moment I started making my own curries I have also saved money. The e-Book is very good value for money. I use the kindle to follow the recipe in the kitchen, and when I want to see the pictures of all the deliciously looking dishes in full colour, I browse it on my PC using the Kindle app.
