Whilst I sincerely hope that this long awaited 'enlightening' works for you Chris by actually giving what is promised, any intention I may of had of investing the price of a pint has now been totally reversed by this video. What a load of nonsense.  :o  very amateur attempt at generating future revenue by creating an increased suspense that some people are actually falling for.

As somebody has already mentioned, the product now needs to be very good in light of the additional hype.  ;) if this unlocks anything 'we' don't know already then I shall be the first to apologise for doubting you but I would feel worse joining an 'after the event' band of criticism than express my doubts now. Fingers crossed that I am wrong but I have a bad feeling about this. Just a personal opinion and no offence meant but the video has not done you any favours in my eyes.

Very plausible retort that ruby, but there is definitely something out there that we're not doing correctly as anybody walking past a decent curry house can tell you. Somebody out there (all BIR chefs no doubt)  know the answers!!
Lets hope it's Chris  :(

I really hope this ebook delivers an insight to what Chris feels it will offer.
I have tried  a few of Chris's recipes already and they do deliver, So i'm hoping that this will give us what we want as far as smell and flavour.

As for recipe requests....

A real Birmingham style Chicken Balti / Tandori Balti / Tikka Balti would be good.... I'm yet to get that fragrance and all the right layers of flavour in a balti

There is a third option, which is the one I prefer to exercise : I reserve my judgement until the e-book appears.  If it receives rave reviews from (say), Axe, Ray, Stephen or any of the many other members whose judgement I trust, I shall order a copy without fail; if it receives neutral or negative reviews, then I shall put the money towards something more useful.  I don't actually care whether the video is a good marketing ploy : I am interested only in what the e-book contains, not in any pre-launch marketing that Chris feels to be necessary or even worthwhile.

I haven't passed judgement Phil, just expressed scepticism. I really do hope there is something in this but like you will, somewhat flock like admittedly and ashamedly, await reports from those whose views I also deem trustworthy before getting anywhere near excited. I am sorry but the build up has been questionable to say the least.

Now, for me, I second the call for a proper layered biryani, royal in nature and properly accompanied by a well spiced veggy curry.  ;)

Back on subject.  Sorry Chris.

Not that bothered recipe-wise.  A bhuna perhaps.
