"This book is published to accompany the television series entitled Rick Stein's Indian odyssey, first broadcast on BBC Two in 2013"--Title page verso.
Whenever I hear the word curry, I am filled with a longing for spicy hot food with the fragrance of cumin, cloves and cinnamon. I see deep red colours from lots of Kashmiri chillis, tinged with a suggestion of yellow from turmeric. I think of the tandoor oven, and slightly scorched naan shining with ghee and garlic.When Indians talk of their food, they talk about their life. To understand this country, you need to understand curry. What makes a good curry? Sensual spicy aromas or thick, creamy sauces? Rich, dark dals or crispy fried street snacks? Rick journeys through India to find the answer, searching this colourful, chaotic nation in search of the truths behind our love affair with its food. Rick's travels take him to the heart of both their long-held traditions and most modern techniques. He uncovers recipes for fragrant kormas, delicate spiced fish and slow-cooked biryanis, all the while gathering ideas and inspiration for his own take on that elusive dish the perfect curry.

I like the way that Stein writes ... it's very relaxed and unceremonious and he's got the enthusiasm, like a kid on Christmas daybreak. He's really encouraging and tempts you in to cook.
There are lots of tricks in this book that have become a bit of a custom of mine such as using ground spices to jazz up stews. there's a lot of these dishes are really good you'll find this entertaining.
Every dish has a nice full-page picture and there's lots of other bump shots of culture.
