On the Curry Trail: Chasing the Flavor That Seduced the World

Well written recipes, easy to follow. Entertaining and informative background information and stories about the history and journey of "curry" and it's adaption around the world. A joy to cook and to read.

Iyer was the master of Indian cooking and especially wonderful for Western cooks like myself. His recipes for various curry powers are unique with ingredients easy to find at the local grocery store. I was saddened by his death at the end of March '23, just as I was getting to know his unique talents for delicious and easy dishes. Fortunately his book, "660 Curries" is still available as well as this last effort completed in his final weeks.

I love the write ups and the recipes. Totally accessible and absolutely delicious. I was obsessed with 660 Curries and this one is just as amazing.

Pretty interesting but have read other interesting books too.

It is often easy to forget that certain food preparations are similar across the globe. In this case the focus is on curry, and the varous styles found inside and outside the Indian Subcontinent. If you want a basic recipe and ' how to do it book' this does the job to as certain extent, but it is far more than just a recipe book . It really is an interesting read and a bit of an eye opener if your only idea of curry is a CTM. Well recommended.
