Review

Even if your only culinary experience with curry has been a Curried Chicken Salad at a wedding shower five years ago, this cookbook will be a revelation -- it opens the doors to a global taste experience. (James A. Cox The Midwest Book Revieq)

I love curry, so a book that calls itself the Complete Curry Cookbook: 250 Recipes from Around the World hits the right note with me. These quick, easy and tantalizing recipes fill the bill, as they feature ingredients found in supermarkets. Yet the dishes that I tried still maintain those authentic tastes that are so important. Curry is enjoyed throughout the world -- in India, Thailand, China, England, Indonesia and the Caribbean, and each of these areas makes curry in their own different and distinctive way. This cookbook offers curry recipes from each of these regions and includes the flavors that make them unique. If you are a home cook who wants to experience international curry cuisine at its most tantalizing, these recipes will put you on that road. I have several marked to try already and from what others have said about the book I am really looking forward to delving into it. (CookingNook.com 2011-01-31)
