I very simple to follow cookery book. Brilliant explanations, the curries always turn out how they look in the book.
The only thing I would say is that make sure you read the preperation details first as I have been caught out by some ingrediants needing to be marinated for quite a few hours. All in all very good.

I am not a huge curry lover but my other half is so I was pleased to get my hands on this book, hoping to find something that I could handle as a beginner. I am very pleased with it, the content is excellent. The photographs are really large and everything looks very appetising. The recipes are not difficult at all and are easy to understand, using ingredients that you could pick up in a supermarket. I was especially keen to see how to make starters and side dishes like naan bread for example, things which I would normally buy ready made in a packet. Overall, this is a great book and I plan to look into the rest of the Hamlyn Colour series too.

Two hundred tasty curry recipes in a handy compact book. Great for both beginners and more experienced cooks. I love the wipe clean cover because I am a messy cook! It also includes an excellent vegetarian section. All the recipes I have tried so far have been delicious. Favourites in this house are the Creamy Tandoori Chicken Kebabs and the Chicken & Baby Spinach Curry.

What a fantastic book! Definately not a cookbook that sits on the shelf. Handy size too.
Tried about 10 curries so far and they are all AMAZING! This book has changed my life.

This is a great little book. The recipes are easy and clearly explained. The ingredients needed are usually the ones that are part of your cupboard. I certainly recommend it!

I love this book! Very colourful and the dishes are just amazing. Very good selection of recipes, curries with lamb, poultry, fish, vegetarian. Very good choice of starters and sides. I love the selection of side dishes too. I am very happy with the purchase.

arrived today, was really pleased, contains starters, chicken, pork, lamb, seafood, vegetarian curries. cant believe they managed to squeeze 200 recipe ideas in such a small size book. the recipes are really good, as an indian cook myself i like to search for new recipe ideas and this book is a great start. it contains the basics of curry style ingredients and gives the best of both thai and indian curries. it would have been better if all the recipes were for 'curries' as it contains starters, and also side - 'salad' type recipes which i think is cheating to say all are curries, but on whole a good book, highly recommended.

I am loving this series of little Hamlyn cookery books.

Any quibbles (and there aren't many) are blown out of the water by the fact that they are just such good value for money. As I write this book is offered by Amazon at just three pounds! Because its so cheap this book is even a good buy for complete vegetarians despite the fact there are carnivorous curries too.

This was the way cook books used to be before the rise of the celebrity chef. Written by some anonymous home economist or domestic scientist rather than a culinary celeb off the telly.

So its not connected to a TV show, a personality, or their travels. Its just full of practical well-explained recipes that work for the home cook. Its about cookery rather than the cook, and all the better for it.

I love the tarka dhal, and dhal makhani is a restaurant favourite I have never quite been able to pull off at home. The recipe here is the closest I have got.

It has a nice wipeable cover. Fancy cook books not built to stand the rigors of the kitchen are a particular complaint of mine.

The main negative is that as this is a small book (the front is the size of slightly elongated CD case), its quite hard to keep it open at the page you are working from, without really crunching the spine. But this is about the biggest moan I can muster. I'd knock a star off if this were an expensive book.

But I will say it again. Three quid! Less than the price of a takeaway. Fantastic.

PLENTY OF INTERESTING RECIPES TO TRY OUT. GOOD BOOK AT A GOOD PRICE
