5.0 out of 5 stars The best curry cookbook by far, 31 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Great Curries of India (Paperback)

...beautiful photography, wonderful recipes, unique insight on how & why spices and ingredients are used. The first few curries I tried were duff but that's because the recipes are challenging and it takes practice and skill to get the best out of them, which , when done properly are divne...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, 21 Sep 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Great Curries of India (Paperback)

I don't understand the reviewer who claimed this is a 'vanity book'. It explains which spices have to be cooked for what time to maximise their efficiency. The recipes work (I have yet to make a duff one) and the food comes out better than I can buy at my local Indian restaurant. This book has rekindled by love of Indian food.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superbly presented and easy to follow recipes, 7 Nov 2001

By	Patrick Byrne (PatMByrne@aol.com) (Worthing, Sussex, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 50 Great Curries of India (Paperback)

This is more than just a book on how to cook curries. It tells of the history of Indian cuisine and explains some of the regional variations. It is beautifully presented and illustrates spices and herbs with reasons for their individual use. It even tells you what kind of spice combination to consider when attempting a style of dish, and to complete the picture an accompaniment is suggested too.

This is the kind of 'foodie' book that you can simply read and enjoy, but it is at its best when you use it to create a dish. And create you will. More than just a dish, a culinary experience. Of about 30 cookbooks in my possesion it is outstanding and one of, if not, THE best.
