A Surprising Treasure,
By
This review is from: Best-Ever Curry Cookbook (Hardcover)
I bought this book on a whim and we use it over and over. It is
easily read, followed and thus you pull it out when you feel like a curry and its condiments. This is a book you can use when you cook during the week as well as on weekends. That is a treat. I collect cookbooks, have taken lessons in India/Thailand and the books and recipes I returned with were not user friendly because of ingredients or technique. This one is. Kudos to the author for allowing us to share the joy of these culinary adventures.

Truly as the title says!,
This review is from: Best-Ever Curry Cookbook (Paperback)
I don't keep many cookbooks - I tend to use a lot of online recipe sites and then alter the recipes to meet my needs. However, this cookbook holds pride of place on my shelf and always will. I estimate that I've made about half of the recipes from the regional Indian sections, and one or two from the smaller sections in the book on other southeast Asian cuisines, and everything I've made has come out in the 4 or 5 star range on my personal measure of taste. The recipes are incredibly detailed and include numerous helpful photographs. Many of the more complicated recipes do include long lists of ingredients, but I've never had difficulty following the recipe. Most of the main course dishes include a recommendation for what rice or vegetable to serve on the side, which is helpful when planning a meal.
Each section is prefaced by pages describing the traditional ingredients of a region, and a bit about how they are usually prepared. The Indian cuisine section is divided by cultural region, and there are sections on Thai and other southeast Asian curries as well. Most of the recipes in this book focus on main courses, but there are also many rice, vegetable, appetizer, snack and even condiment recipes as well. Truly a worthwhile book if you're interested in Indian cuisine and curries in particular. The green chicken curry and cashew chicken are particular favs.

Love it!,
This review is from: Best-Ever Curry Cookbook (Hardcover)
I am currently purchasing a third copy of this book, because my friends and relatives tried multiple recipes from it and they really wanted to have the same book as me.
I cooked about half of the recipes from this book and I recommend it for any curry lover. It explains a lot, gives choices and advices, everything is precisely measured (for all ingredients there are measurments in g/oz/cups). I love the introduction with cultural facts and descriptions. Summary: buy it and you'll enjoy it!
