Another really good video Chris, cheers.
I think its a lot better with Sam in the full screen, but i would definitely crop the close up video to just around the pan so that the pan fills the insert. 

Thanks, Frank. 



p.s. change the title though eh.

Guys

Can we have objective criticism instead of links to something else. If you think its naff say so and why you think it is!?

Makes things a lot easier

No idea what you are talking about Ed. Are you on the right thread?

I can't see any lumps H4ppy, straightforward enough hot curry! No wheel invented 

Being constructive Ed
A bit picky I know, but your video quality has dropped a bit!

The inset vid is interlaced, and has lots of artefacts (lines)
The main window looks far better with just the pan, like mine and your other vids.
It would be good if the quality of both cameras was the same, once you've made a few quid maybe  ;D

cheers Chewy

I think the video(s) are nice.  However as yet I'm not particularly inspired to try any of the recipes out; nothing grabbing me as being particularly interesting, or new.  A competent chef making for the most part standard curries.  This is not a criticism. As I say, very nice. Perhaps a single compilation video would have been a better marketing approach. Showing just all the best bits, sort of like a movie trailer, or something. It would also be useful to see some close-up stills of the finished dishes (in foil TA containers would be good, for that added touch of authenticity). No doubt the finished book will be more enlightening. Keep up the good work Chris. I will be buying it.

To be fair to Chris, a competent chef making standard curries is exactly what I would want to see.  I have no interest in (e.g.,) "Mongolian yak mussaman"; I want to see the basic BIR repertoire being prepared and cooked from start to finish, because if I could master that it would give me far more confidence that I could master the more esoteric dishes.  Biryani, Bhuna, Bombay,  Dhansak, Madras, Vindaloo, and some basic side dishes (Bombay aloo, mushroom bhaji, onion bhaji, sag aloo) -- get those ten under your belt and the rest should be (relatively) easy.  Oh, and add chapati and keema naan -- take it up to a round dozen
