Product Description

Review
Queen of Curry Madhur Jaffrey offers the definitive guide to this diverse cookery form. Not just Indian curries but South East Asian, African, West Indian and anglicised versions from the UK and USA. Curry's popularity is so great that it has crossed the globe, manifesting itself in every culture imaginable. Meat-based or vegetarian its range covers every taste and appetite from mild kormas, spicy madras' and the notoriously hot vindaloos. Demonstrating its centuries old origins, Madhur leads the reader through the culinary history of Britain's number one favourite meal. Developing from when the colonials returned home and Indians themselves started to migrate around the world, so their national food followed, served up in homes, restaurants and hotels across the globe. Its appeal today is as strong as ever and its influence on other forms of cooking immense. From the Moguls to the British colonials with recipes such as the Nawab of Dhaka's family korma and even that Victorian doyenne of the kitchen, Mrs Beeton's curry sauce with tomato, Madhur offers a comprehensive range of delicious curries to cook in your own home. This is a culinary celebration of curry from one of the top Indian chefs today, lavishly illustrated, clearly explained and entertainingly written for a fascinating read. - Lucy Watson

Product Description
This is the most comprehensive book ever published on curries, written by Madhur Jaffrey, the world's bestselling Indian cookery author. The influence of the Indian curry has been far-reaching: Indian immigrants and traders influenced the cooking of many other great cuisines of the world, including those of Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and China. History blends with recipes in this meticulously researched book, which will prove fascinating reading for food lovers everywhere. With over 150 mouthwatering recipes, Madhur starts with the best curry recipes in India today, moves on to Asian curries, and even includes European curry ideas such as French curry sauces. Some recipes have never before appeared in print, such as fish seasoned with tamarind and coconut and lamb braised with oranges. Also included are Madhur's tips for the best accompanying foods - she gives us ideas for rice, bread, chutneys, relishes and sweets - the perfect complement for any curry. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book is set to become the standard reference book on curries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty curries, 20 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This book is better than her first book, published in 1973, which up to now was my curry bible. It differs from her "Invitation to Indian Food" in that this book has recipes from SE Asia and Africa as well as from south Asia. The recipes do not require obscure ingredients and are not fussy. The results are delicious, especially the aubergine on a bed of yogurt and the chicken with two types of coriander. The naan recipe produced naan that tasted almost like they had been cooked in a tandoor instead of in an electric oven. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 1 Feb 2007
By C. Niblett (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of my favourite books! This book contains numerous exotic dishes & flavour combinations from all over the globe; don't expect to find the fodder your served in your local curry house in here (although there are a few old favourites) but experience some really interesting new flavours with lots of contrast. The recipes are fairly complicated & involve a fair bit of prep & cooking time but instructions are very easy to follow & the end results well worth the effort! Not a cheap book but money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Cultural Discovery, 14 Feb 2006
I am lucky to find this book almost brand new from a second hand book cart in Karachi for $3 dollars. Well this is the first success with this book. Then a series of successes which i owe to Madhur and this book. The cooking tehniques in this book are nothing new for me being a Pakistani, but history, narrative and description are totally awesome and of course a lot of receipie which i have never yet tried out were a great addition on our dining table.

My household is frequently visited by gests from West , and for them Indian/Pakistani food are amazing, shocking, pleasing and a discovery. With this book one can really make the meal times and guest times a great cutltural experience. I am glad that it is not one of those dumb cook books which dumps the recepie and never gives any history or cultural insignts whereas food is a significant part of any cutlture and traditon.

Many thanks Madhur for this book.

Farah
