Topic: Capital Spice by Chrissie Walker

[tempest63]

I got a copy of Capital Spice by Chrissie Walker yesterday. Over 100 recipes from 21 restaurant chefs. All the restaurants involved are in London, hence the title.
Although the book is written by restaurant chefs there are no base sauces, the recipes are more traditional even though some of the ingredients are not s otraditional. There area couple of recipes that immediately jumped out at me; Goan Pork Vindaloo from Ma Goa, Rogan Josh from Benares there is also a Chicken Curry from Tamarind that gives a recipe for a basic curry with a number of suggestions as to how it can be enhanced.

I've no time this weekend to test drive the book but come next weekend I will be busy in the kitchen and, all things coming out well, I will post some sample recipes and results.

Has anyone else tried this book?

Now that is one good looking website. It needs further exploration!
