The Complete Curry Cookbook

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.

That said, I am not a fanatic and I am not at a point in my life where I want to spend all day in the kitchen preparing authentic curries, so the recipes I use must have authentic curry taste, but be easy to make.

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.

Some of the delicious curry recipes in this cookbook include:
