I haven't had a good look yet at that one. But it's tiny so not expecting great things. But I'll let you know.
If anyone likes cook books you have to read. Then I can't recommended the Huston ones enough. They are brilliant. Much like the hairy bikers books if you have read them. All about the adventure and research for pages. then the recipe. Still waiting for a few of them.

Just re-read the title and I thought it sounded like a hunting guide but on second reads it sounds like a guide how to identify what's in the box in the supermarket

Like this got like 30 animals although the less well known the less info. Then a fair section on ham, dried meats and sausages.
So yeah not really what I expected, I was thinking more along the lines as you where. But it only cost like £3 or something. God bless 2nd hand amazon.

Step 4 on page 8: you need a frying pan and two fires

Has anyone else been watching floyd in India? I so have to get his book. No wonder I can never make good currys. Have you seen how much spice, ginger and garlic he uses. It must be like two bottles worth of each.

I always find using 'excessive' ginger, garlic and spice is to make up for rushing a 'base'... a good base will be flavoursome enough to provide for any curry of choice, then adding top level flavours and textures (creams, chillies, nuts etc) to suit your desired dish at the time of cooking

Just got an amazing book.
Dine with Europe's Master Chefs All recipes have a full colour double page, the book is huge. These are all top fine dinning like recipes, which look amazing and I'm sure taste likewise. Some you will know and then other stuff like brains. It really does look like an amazing book and can't wait to try some recipes out.

That's great man. Are you considering whipping up some marvellous medicine, or possibly creating something involving snozzcumbers?
