you won't get that kind of knowledge exchange from any recipe book

That is so true Stephen West  Brom market is a wonder for top quality food not the usual stuff from ASDA Tesco etc.. The prices are just excellent 4 peppers(2 green, 2 red) ?1 , coriander 4 big bunches ?1 , garlic, ginger, okra, green chillies (you get that many i share with a couple of friends) string bag of onions 5KG ?2.50 what i like is if you ask for a certain ingredient 9 times out of 10 he can get it.
I do on average 4 different bases at the same time and the cost of ALL ingredients is about ?11-?15.
Wonder if Mandybabe has made a base yet.

I totally agree with you but surely a recipe book is just that a book of recipes.
