Aye, it was a good watch. I settled down with a rather large plateful of my SIGGC and some methi roti just to get into the mood! Looking forward to the next episode. :)

strangely, I was browsing amazon just a while ago and got that in my recommendations. Is it like the far eastern odissey?

I enjoyed watching the programme last night. I've always liked Rick's style on camera and his passion for good food always shines through. The Guardian however gives a less than enthusiastic review of the programme.

I loved the show, trust me you can learn a lot from understanding traditional Indian cooking which will really help in your BIR quest.

Recipes are not brilliant from the first episode of the show and can be found here;
