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.

This book is an absolute must for anyone who likes to put a bit into the kitchen and get a lot out. The food is so much nicer than the usual "stuff" served at Indian restaurants. If you like curries buy the book and educate yourself starting with the absolutely superb "Kebab Curry".
