"The New Curry Bible" was a fantastic hit and now, by popular demand, we launch the paperback edition. Curry is Britain's favourite food, and in this bible of Indian food, Pat Chapman brings the much loved Curry Menu to life in a unique and inspiring way - he has chosen to arrange the recipes in menu order, so very familiar at the curry restaurant, but new to a cook book. His method is borne out of a passion for Indian food and the restaurants that serve it - in his extensive research he has selected the finest dishes from over 1,000 of the best Curry houses in the land. First come thirty starters, then Tandoori and Tikka dishes. Next are the sixteen most popular curries, followed by sixteen further restaurant curries from Achari to Thai. The recipes continue, as at a restaurant, with 'House Specials', vegetable curries, dhal dishes, rice and bread favourites, chutneys and pickles, and finally Indian desserts. With step-by-step photo sequences, and A to Z of spices, nutritional information, a menu glossary and enticing colour photographs of every dish, the author provides a wealth of information, tips and secrets to create the perfect curry at home.

Justifiably called "The New Curry Bible", this gorgeous book is an essential possession for every curry lover.

2008-06-12 An excellent book.

This is an excellent book - for anyone who wants to create an authentic Indian takeaway curry at home. It has all the curries I can think of and tells you how to build the base sauce for all restaurant curries and even gives different versions of most (for example a traditional recipe as opposed to the restaurant variety).

I really like this book! My only gripe, is that it gives an extremely heavily spiced base sauce and I found the base sauce or 'curry gravy' too crowded with spicy flavours. I made the Jalfrezi from this book and used the 'curry gravy' recipe from Kris Dhillon's book the curry secret - the result was phenomenal.

My advice: if you want one book on restaurant curry - buy this one; however if you'd prefer a broader outlook buy alongside Kris Dhillon book!
