http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/095634030X?tag=eighteighttem-21

never heard of it to be honest jb

There is a website for the book too when I googled the title...

http://www.thecurrycrunch.com/

Tells a little bit more about the book then the Amazon page

[Stephen Lindsay]

cheers Mark, only 56 pages I noticed - not exactly a huge tome then.

I can't see how it could possibly tell us anything, we don't know
I am curious though
I doubt the author's name
It's probably just to make the book sound authentic
It preys on our desperation to make 100% BIR curry
There never will be a perfect recipe book
The best things to read are
The Ashoka recipes by Panpot
Bruce Edward's Curry house cookery
The Curry Secret, Kris Dhillon

I think you might have jumped the gun there haldi questioning the credibility of the Author, if you look on the Amazon page there is a link to another website which is a curryshop at 37 Inworth walk Colchester called the Curry Crunch the same name as the book so I think it is safe to assume that the owner/chef is the author of the book in which case we finally have a book written by a real restuarant chef, not the deliveryman or gifted amateur , maybe a member who has used this  takeaway can comment on it or  or can go check out it's quality for us, the link to the shop is here http://www.currycrunchtakeaway.co.uk/  , As I have not read the book I cant make any judgement on it's contents but hope to hear soon from any member who does as the overseas postage really bumps up the cost to me here and I don't like to waste money, I hope the base in this book isn't full of onion Bhaji oil like the last book I brought.

we finally have a book written by a real restuarant chef, not the deliveryman or gifted amateur

LOL  ;D

This is interesting. But why do you leave out the Kushi Balti Cookbook (Haydor) and the recent Undercover Curry book? Do you really rate Dhillon higher?

Hi

Just find it strange that there is no mention of the book by the TA and no mention of the TA by the book site.
