Title: Would you buy a Bruce Edwards Cook book?
Post by: Unclebuck on May 19, 2008, 06:47 PM

Indian cook books have saturated the market but BIR Cookery has not.. So I ask the question Would you buy a Bruce Edwards Cook book?

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, but with all the "Bruce" activity of late, I thought I'd try his Pilau recipe with tonights curry. I was skeptical as it was the first I've tried that asked to "not wash the rice" and "fry until golden", but the result was the best BIR pilau I've ever made. This will now be my regular.

Bruce's Madras, simple as it is, is still my gold standard for that dish (although I don't agree with adding methi with the spices, I wait until the base is added)

I'm all for adding them with the spices. I used to do it your way but reformed.
