It didn't take you long to find that! The web page counters show only just over 100 hits both on the restaurant and book promotion pages. Like previous publications, this book SHOULD be the answer to all our questions, if only it is written honestly and, perhaps, tested to double check that the recipes taste just like in the restaurant.

I would love to know these recipes, but they are going to be a con aren't they?
They will give a base sauce like we already know
They will give a "secret" spice mix
They will give precook tecniques
But even though I am sure I am right and believe WE are now the experts
I still want to buy it (just in case)

"My" korma recipe, which turned out pretty well is simply K = M + G

where:
K = Korma
M = MarkJ's very-easy-to-make base sauce with carrot, etc, and
G = Ghanna's very simple korma suggestion (18 April), using evaporated milk and virtually no spices

I know it will be crap but like Pete think I should buy it just in case? ???

Hopefully if it's not too bad it will at least be a nice collection of the classic restaurant recipes which can be used with our own gravys and spice mixes.

We're a sad lot aren't we. The book hasn't even been published yet and we've already consigned it to the dustbin. It shows you just how frustrated and jaded most of us are that we can't quite get that last few % that will make our curries 100% restaurant copies.? ?:-[
