I think this is the ultimate book for the basis of creating your culinary curry desires I have experimented many of the recipes and techniques delivered by the author from this book and find it just as good as going to my local Asian restaurant time factors are important and more so are the ingredients that need to be fresh to make a good dish, it takes time but delivers the overwhelming results you will not be disappointed.

As a fairly competent cook and someone who has spent years cooking curries from scratch or otherwise I found the base curry recipe in this book is incredibly bad. I spent ages following the recipe to the letter only to end up with an insipid and relatively tasteless sauce. If you like really good tasting curries try the Spice is Right website. Their curries are amazing.

I bought this copy for my Mum as I have found the same book can make some really yummy curries! I usually adapt the recipes to make them vegan which is fairly easy, just need to adjust the cooking times. I would also recommend reducing the amount of salt and oil stated in each recipe. Be careful with units in this book, a cup size is not consistent between recipes, I always use ml and they have turned out ok.

I only bought this as a replacement to my old copy as I have worn it out and it's falling apart. If you're an old hand or new to making curry, this has to be an essential book. Forget taking short cuts and using proprietary sauces, this takes a tad longer but initial preparation can be done in advance but results are superb.
