Curry  (English, Hardcover, Collingham Lizzie)

One of the best books about how the Indian cuisine shaped into what we see it today. Narrated like a story starting from the Mughals to the present day.
(I have tried some recipes in it and am delighted to have done so.)

An old favorite. I bought this copy for a newly married couple who will enjoy the remarkable combination of actual recipes with historical, fascinating discussions of where the ingredients come from. A combination of scholarly and tasty.

I bought this because it had such good reviews on the cover. However, on reading the book - definitely interesting in parts - I found that there are errors which any Indian reader would find absurd e.g., 'shikari' when what is meant is 'shikar'. This makes me wonder how accurate other information is in the book. A pity. The good reviews are all non-Indian, so obviously they did not notice the errors.
