Hi t-c,
Reading back through all of this, I don't think I have ever mentioned once that you should not recommend an author if you think they have inspired you.
The only point I was making, was that for me personally, I have not found an author of an Indian cookery book yet, who's recipes have gone above and beyond what other people have contributed to this forum over the years through trial and error.
If, for you that is different, then I am pleased that you have found what you are looking for
