I've just (hastily) read through the e-book. Very well done, and more than enough new insight for me to justify the cost. The recipes I tried from the YouTube page all turned out very well. I'm off to buy a pressure cooker now  ;D

I do recall from an earlier posting a mention of this being "part one" in a two part series. I wonder what's missing from this one...

In any case great work Julian!

Josh

It'll be interesting to see what a cross section of our august membership has to say about the book once read and digested. Many of you seem to have purchased it already. For anyone wondering which book is being discussed in this thread, here's the link:

I've pencilled myself in a trip to C2G on Thursday, I need to know what I'm replicating ???, think I'm gonna be trying the 3ltr Bangladesh base 1st, I'm up for the pressure cooker sketch, but the wife'd flip trying to shove that much base in the freezer hehe :o

What's everyone else's thoughts on gravy choice or are the fleet 5 sticking to the zaal stuff :)

Hi Whandsy,

I bought the book this morning and I like you do not have enough freezer space to make a large batch, so will try the smaller one first. It's a shame because up in my loft I have a baby Burco Boiler which I used to use for home beer and wine making, so would suit absolutely fine for cooking a large batch of base very slowly :)

Ironically, reading through this book this morning about the tomato puree and adding Tandoori Masala...

I bought another book over a year ago, "Undercover Curry", by Dave Loydens, and in his recipe for tomato puree, he also mentions adding Tandoori Masala and also a level teaspoon of Ginger Powder too.

I've never put this into practice myself, but will now give it a go :)

Seem's like a very goof informative book to me. Let me know your results when you pay them a visit :)

Hey Wayne,

I'm gonna pay a trip to c2g myself in June, whilst I'm on a camping trip.  Do us a favour mate please, find out what times and days he opens.  I did pm him but he may have missed it?

There seems to be a couple of threads on the same topic here,so which to post in?
Anyway..
Five and a half hours later .....finished.
It's clear after a couple of chapters the amount of hard work that's gone into this book and indeed the accompanying  videos.
It's clear, concise and informative and well worth the asking price.
I'm generally excited about new ideas learnt,and eager to try them out.
Need to do some shopping first and hopefully give it a crack over the Easter holidays.
Well done Julian!
