The giveaway prize: “Curries of The World” book
I love spices, I love curry, and even just looking at the recipes makes me happy- and hungry. The book features over 100 recipes from all around the world- not just the familiar Indian and Thai curries, but also recipes from Africa, Morocco and even the US (bison buffalo curry anyone?).
In “Curries of the World” introduction section, chef Atul explains the origin of the curry in different geographical areas, the terminology (is curry the spice powder or the dish?) and some basic techniques. The recipes are easy to follow and most of the time only require ingredients that can be found in a good supermarket or specialty store. Substitutions are also suggested for more exotic ingredients (gazelle meat? not sure), and most curries can be made using more than one type of meat or fish.
Amongst the recipes, my personal favourites- a bit of a sentimental weakness here- are the Malaysian and Indonesian curries. Rendang, nyonia curry, satay…their complex blend of spices and their chilli kick just hits the spot for me.
Of course, the beloved Indian (and Anglo-Indian) classics like Korma, Jailfrezi and even the humble Tikka Masala are covered in “Curries of the World”. In short, there is something for everyone.
And as a big plus, this copy here is signed by chef Atul – a nice touch which makes this prize even more covetable.

The giveaway
I announced in April that I’d be having a few surprises for my readers to celebrate “Into The F World” blog turning one- and here we are again! Apologies for the delay, but the last few weeks have been very turbulent for me, with travelling to and fro Italy because of family troubles.
As always, food and friends are the things that keep me going through happy and hard times alike. Thanks to a friend, recently I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of “Curries of the World”. Chef Atul Kochhar (who’s just as lovely in person as he sounds on TV) signed for me two copies of this beautiful, colourful book. One is proudly displayed in my growing cookbook collection. The other one…I want to share it with my readers!
