Author Topic: Restaurant sites with recipes  (read 11,244 times)

AI Summary
The discussion revolves around a list of restaurant websites that feature their own recipes, shared by a user seeking feedback on their authenticity. While some participants express interest in the recipes, others question their genuineness and share anecdotes about trying to learn curry-making techniques from chefs. The conversation takes a humorous turn with suggestions about observing kitchen practices through a window or using a hidden camera, but no consensus on the quality or authenticity of the recipes is reached.

Have we had this one?
It's quite interesting and substantiates what we have heard before

I don't know, I just did my normal "indian restaurant recipe" search, and it threw it up.
You're right though, we need some more witnessed recipes
These are ok but don't seem "genuine"

I was hoping to get another demo from a chef last week but hes since told us that he's boss has said he can't show anyone how to make curry as its more than hes jobs worth.  I don't wether thats true or just an excuse from him.  Another restaurant ive started going to has a window in the car park that looks right in on the kitchen so I will be peering through there over time and hopefully see whats going on  8)

I can see the local paper report now...'Curry King car park caper - Copper catches curry kitchen clocker'? ? :D

For those not up on their British colloquialisms, 'to clock' is to watch or see something.

Park a van alongside the window with a hidden camcorder focussed through a hole.

When you get home, watch how your order was made, as you eat it.
