5.0 out of 5 stars The best cookery book I have ever owned. 21 Nov 2006
By Jeannie
Format:Paperback
I have been making curries now since I was about twelve years old, but the best thing that ever happened to me was getting hold of this book about twenty five years ago. I am now onto my second copy (the first one having worn away with use!) and still wowing my friends with subtle yet bursting with flavour dishes. All the recipes are incrediably simple, and there is a fantastic range of unusual dishes, for example black pea curry, which is my favourite and I have only ever found before in a restaurant called the Khyber in Westbourne Park Road. I am moved to write this review as I have just given up eating meat again, and am about to get Jack's chinese vegetarian book and see if it's as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just great 24 Nov 2006
By M. Robinson
Format:Paperback
I got a copy of this book 21 years ago, when I was 21 and broke. I managed to eat well with the help of this book and the fruit and veg scavenged from the stuff left over at the end of the day at Lancaster market. It is the only book I have from that period and has survived about 50 house moves (not an exaggeration), so that should tell you how much I value it. It has a near mythical status for me and may well have the same with you if you get a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy peasy - and yum city!! 2 Aug 2009
By Wayword Traveller
Format:Paperback
I have to agree with the other enthusiastic reviewers here - this is one of my oldest cookbooks and a terrific, concise collection of simple yet tasty Indian dishes. A few of the recipes are particularly scrumptious and distinctive: if you only make one dish from this book, be sure it's the BANANA CURRY. Serve it up for a gathering of friends - and I defy anyone (except banana haters - do such people exist?) to resist wolfing their portion down and asking for more! Yummmm.....

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, but seems old-fashioned
Well it does date back to 1972, and it seems it. You won't find terms in here which might orientate you to what you think of as Indian restaurant food these days, so I haven't... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy as falling off a log!
I too have had this book for years, but only recently returned to it. Somehow I thought that Indian cooking was fiddly and time-consuming. Nothing could be further from the truth. Read more
