Biggest Curry Influences

[Peripatetic Phil]

Not a "curry influence" per se but definitely worth acquiring and reading :  Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking :  the Science and Lore of the Kitchen.  One quote should suffice to explain why (the author is himself quoting Dr Samuel Johnson) :

I could write a better book of cookery than has ever yet been written; it should be a book upon philosophical principles. Pharmacy is now made much more simple. Cookery may be made so too. A prescription which is now compounded of five ingredients, had formerly fifty in it. So in cookery, if the nature of the ingredients be well known, much fewer will do.

An American teaching BIR doesn't really work in my book 

I'll put an inscription in the book and direct him here.

From looking at his website I doubt he would have anything to offer here. And I also doubt he'd be bothered being here anyway. He's far too busy monetising his AmeriBIR style.

I was thinking more of the lad I am gifting the book to. I will direct him here to learn from you BIR Guys.
