And no one's bought the book?
Is it the price?
All I really want to know, is which restaurant the recipes come from
Surely some RCR members view this site too
So please, someone tell me
Is there a genuine restaurant credited?

Ianr's sarcastic comment about the ebook on rcr:

Quote
I noticed on the website (the currybook website) that there is a cashback offer for recommendations. I'll see if our friend Woks Up want's a copy  If he hasn't bought it already

So i naturally assumed he was giving it to me for free:

Quote from: Woks Up
Oh, and im still waiting for my free copy of the curry book that ianr so kindly said hed get for me

and ianr's sarcastic reply on rcr:

Quote
Latest news from No2 site is that apparently I am supplying them with a copy of the book

Seems not then haldi  ::)

Adminandy/admin have this to say about these things on rcr:

Quote
The melting base recipes on the forum are a derivative of the "Savoury and Mild" based recipes and form a set of recipes from the businesses associated at the time to Ali

So ali used to be associated with "the restaurant" and "the takeaway" but isnt any more.  Would you credit it huh?  ::)

Quote
The Ebook recipes and website have no connection to Ali at all

Therefore the ebook recipes are not from "the restaurant' and "the takeaway" that ali used to be associated with.  Who would have thought huh?  ::)

Quote
I am not going to talk about business information openly on this forum

LMAO of course hes not, he presumably wants to weave an even bigger tangled web of apparent deceipt, deception and lies than he already seems to have done

Quote
it is just safe to say that a full set of the melting base recipes (not the ebook recipes) will be provided on the forum as used by the chefs of the relevant businesses associated at the time with Ali

Can you believe it  :o.  "safe to say" ROFLMAO The inference is that there are NEW and DIFFERENT restaurants and takeaways now that ali is part of and yet MORE melting base recipes.  What a joke. 

I used to think that andy was content removed as inappropriate by CA.  Now i can see hes also content removed as inappropriate by CA that takes everyone else for one.  Unfortunately it seems that some people are more than happy to comply

Quote
There are similarities between the melting base recipes and the recipes in the ebook although the differences give each one their characteristic individuality (as restaurant to restaurant)

What the hell is he on about  :-\.  Taking lessons in unplain english from others on his site i see  ;D. 

What he means i think is that there is no restaurant or takeway, hes made it all up and hes changed the recipes once again  ::)

Quote
the currybook website is a commercial venture with owners and sponsors

ROFLMO  So he finally admits the truth then

Quote
The currybook website will have it's own forum for all purchasers of the book giving everyone who buys the book the opportunity to discuss the recipes and talk with the actual chefs

OFFS he just cant help himself can he  ::)

Of course it will.  Oh joyful rcr members lmao.  They have to go and join that one too.  Why not pay to download some vidoes (that are not of ali's restaurant or takweway because hes no longer associated with them) whilst your about it lol

Quote
They (thats all of us) just have not got a clue who owns what, who works for who and more so how many restaurants are involved and such it goes on. They can keep asking questions on there but no-one is going to answer them are they!


yep, that just about sums the whole sorry and sordid affair up doesnt it  ::)

And lets not forget the following:

Quote
The other site (thats us) are then going to have a trip out to the restaurant to see Andy and Ali face to face. Well lets be right, may be a car full and then they would not see Andy and Ali, well not if they go to the restaurant mentioned in the book anyway!!

Oh what a BIG surprise that is then  ::)

Hell, even im bored with it all now. 

Please delete these threads or lock them admin.  Andys gone well beyond a joke now surely.

And still they will blindly follow  ::)

All opinions are mine and mine alone of course however mental i may seem  ;)

At the end of the day, this is probably my conclusion too, UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. This is my 'balance of probability' conclusion verging on 'beyond reasonable doubt'. The simple reason is all the apprarent subterfuge, excuses, runarounds, recipe changes, extreme 'security measures' and all the rest of it. The latest thing I don't like is how they make out that his forum is the only forum of its type and how no other book has revealed BIR type recipes. What about Curry Secret and Kushi Balti books, notwithstanding any shortcomings? BUT I'M WILLING TO BE PROVED WRONG. Is anyone in a position to try the new book's base sauce and one of the recipes like Chicken Madras or CTM, to see what the end result is like. 15 pounds seems an awful lot of money for an eBook, especially when you're not even allowed to print it.

George

Woks Up, out of all that ramble, and it was a good ramble, the quote above is the most significant point. It's not Andy that's the problem, it's that strange tiny clan that follow on his every word as if it were Gospel. What does it take to reveal the truth to them?

Now you know how religious sects get started.

 :o I've never had religious sex before, is it any good Santa? :P

I thought it was beyond a joke months ago ::) It's pure arse-gravy (my opinion only)....I wonder how much time people will allow both Andy and his claims to remain unsubstatiated before just a shadow of doubt begins to enter their minds.

BTW - I've been away a while, could someone tell me if I missed the Sunday supplement article? or the latest excuse for why it's delayed? :-X ;D

There's this song, if you don't know it it'll mean nothing to you, but if you do it pretty much tells the story of RCR and its dumb followers. It goes something like this...

Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
RCR is all together
But all together, it's all together
The most remarkable travesty that I have ever seen.

These eyes of mine at once determined
The bhaji's mingin, the balti's vermin
The garlic's blue and the members are a lovely shade of green.
Somebody send for the Beer.

I'm feeling a litle bit queer!

so i bought a copy of the much debated ebook "thecurrybook" and have to say its very interesting a bit pricey but curiosity got the better of me and got a ebook. it goes into good detail and with good pics. much of the same, as in base gravy and pre cooking meat... but this book dose use a "spiced water" for the base gravy??
but proof is in the cooking and I'm going get cooking now.
just for the record I'm not going to post the books recipes as i feel its just not fair on the book owner(and legal reasons), but i will give a honest review.

Great stuff UB, a decent, honest review is what is needed.

I think the spice water was used in Andys other recipes but can't wait to hear what you have to say about the rest of it.

Any chance you could see if the tikka marinade is anything like this one:
http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,874.0.html

The sample recipe was very similar so be interesting to see what has been used.

Thanks
