How many times have you thought that before Pete??

I can't remember, but this hope keeps coming back!

Hi Pete,

Did you have any luck with prices etc on a demo in Brum?

Im with Blondie on this one, if all they are going to show us in a lesson is the same as what we would get out of the book then I don;t see much point.  I know watching the chef at work is half of it but i can do that down here

Hi all,

To back-up my claim that the book may be all we require to produce food as cooked at the Kushi balti House, can I say that the estimated cost of the book is approximately ?10 and it does contain many very good photographs taken at each step of the process of the base sauce, the main ingredient "meat base sauce" and the final dish.

Also the book is hoped to be available in about 10 weeks.

I am going to the Kushi again tomorrow (Thursday 7th June), so if there are any questions you would like asking, post them, but I think you will find if you e-mail them from there web site they will answer any questions you might have.

Hope this helps,

Blondie

I found that they answered my e-mails very quickly.
For ?10 i am definitely going to buy a copy.
Thanks Blondie for the information.

   DARTH.

Although you have agreed to not indulge the recipes Blondie Would you say that this book has brought to light a few new ingredients & methods that may end our quest or at least bring us closer to Curry Heaven ?

I have had an advance copy of a small part of the book to "beta test" for the writers. I have been to the restaurant, eaten there and met both the chef and his co-writer.
I made the base sauce and a chicken balti. On only the second attempt at the finished dish it tasted to myself and my partner exactly like the one that I had eaten in the restaurant.  I say that this book WILL guide you to produce baltis exactly as they taste at the kushi Balti House. I therefore suggest that lessons won't be needed,

This sounds very encouraging.  I recall though, that site admin warned that contributors may not always be everything they seem. I'm sure Blondie doesn't come into that category but it would be fairly easy to arrange a posting identity to support the release of a new book, so it must be a slight risk. No offence intended. The only proof for me will be if several people here all agree that the recipes are fully the breakthrough that we seek. Other books have made equally grand claims and have all failed to come up to expectations.

Regards
George

Hi George,

I wouldn't worry about it mate.
If you don't buy the book you will have to wait until others here post what they think of it.
But if we all did that, we would never advance our collective cause would we?

Cheers,

Blondie

Thankyou for your in-depth & sincere reply to my question.
I comend you on your candor on the subject & look forward to your next dialog concerning the case of the smelly Eyeball edited by the Butchers Daughter.
