Synopsis:

The curry has created some of the strongest cravings in culinary history and has become the greatest excuse for consuming - and the best method of recovering from - copious quantities of ice-cold lager. Heavily adapted from Indian recipes, it may no longer resemble its origins, but it sizzles with a style of its own. "The Curry Companion" follows the spice-trail on its worldwide journey from India all the way to Bradford and Brick Lane, showing how several distinctive combinations of fulsome flavours have colonised the most discerning palettes throughout a variety of countries. It reveals the secrets of the spices, the brains behind the blends and demonstrates that, with the ingredients so widely available, the key to a cracking curry may be at anyone's fingertips. From this gastronomic gazetteer we will discover: the world's biggest curry hot-spots; how the tikka-masala became Britain's national dish; how the spice trade conquered the world; the most famous purveyors of piquancy; the world's best curry houses; the most reputable recipes; and the future path of the spice trail.
