Worth a punt on the book for 4 quid. Think I'll pass on the oil though ;)

I'm suprised that nobody has mentioned his website that is advertised on the front cover of the book ,    http://learn2cook.vpweb.co.uk/default.html    he appears to be for hire for one on one home lessons and  also with groups, there is a monthly recipe  also posted, this month it's Channa Masala and a gallery of what I assume are some of his dishes.

Just got this book through the post quite fast delivery
Image hosting by CR0.co.uk

Not really a great selection of recipes in the book but the front cover does say "Volume 1".
So hopefully more recipes to come.
Nothing really stands out for me except something called "intense garlic paste" i have e-mailed the author with a couple of questions so just awaiting an answer.

Hi Unclefrank

Does the korahi recipe have anything new in it?  I know there are lots of versions,  namely korahi/karahi/korai but i have never found a recipe to match my local TA?

regards
