Your comment is so rude and uncalled for, when Abdul has been very helpful at this forum. I'm afraid it's typical of many 'trades' people to trash the work of another professional. Other examples might be electrical work or decorating, where you have a job done by one professional, only to have it rubbished by the next professional who comes along. I don't think it reflects well.

Abdul has revealed to buyers of his book, at least, where his restaurant is located, so we could go along and try his cooking. Have you told us the name and address of the BIR where you work, so we might see if the food you prepare is much cop?

couldn't agree more

spice mixes and bases, are all subjective, like most of cooking really. In Scotland we have a dish called Stovies (short for stoved potatoes and rather yummy if I may say) and you have no idea how many different ways you can make them yet you will still here someone say, "you can't make stovies with blah de blah", when others swear it is the only way to make them.
