What Others Say
Favorite cookbook
This cookbook is my favorite cookbook, hands down. Bought it several years ago, and every recipe I have tried in it is outstanding. Easy to follow instructions, ingredients that are easy to find, and every recipe is easy to make, but tastes like I have worked for hours on them. I have turned The Curry Book: Memorable Flavors and Irresistible Recipes From Around the World on to at least 5 other people, who have had the same experience. I have many cookbooks, but I consistently use this one the most often. Best cookbook I have ever purchased!
excellent book with delicious recipes
Coincidentally I made the Thai Green Curry with Shrimp and Snow Peas last night. The recipe was easy to follow and the only change I made was to use one less tablespoon of curry paste. This is another wonderful recipe in another of the author's wonderful cookbooks .
Yummy!
Bought two of these for family members...going to buy more!!! A+++ and highly recommended!

A great easy-to-use cookbook
I have tried 5 recipes from The Curry Book: Memorable Flavors and Irresistible Recipes From Around the World, and they all turned out great. I don't know very much about cooking this type of food, so it's because it's a great, easy to follow cookbook, rather than any skill on my part. I basically followed the recipes to the letter. There's a great guide to all the more exotic ingredients (some of which aren't even used in The Curry Book: Memorable Flavors and Irresistible Recipes From Around the World), that suggests substitutions and tells you when you can use them. You do need to obtain some rather exotic ingredients for some of the recipes (lemongrass leaves?), but many don't require anything more exotic than curry powder. If you do want to make everything in the book, there's a list of mail order places in the back. I actually like the recipe selection in this cookbook a ... Read More
