had a quick read of the intro and it doesnt look too promising and i shall tell you why

the author was working in a ( BIR ) laugh laugh in Aberdeen , Aberdeen is shite for curries , its like going into iceland and buying one of their frozen meals lol

still it was only ?8 quid lol

@ Secret Santa ( Let me answer for you. Of course it's a cookbook. It's a cookbook that has been put together by a Scot with a limited first hand knowledge of BIRs and some information gleaned, in all probability, from this forum.
