|comment= You've really sold this on me, Sue. I don't cook curries often now as Katie used to be really picky about eating anything in casserole format, plus now with the baby there was no time. But the 'under half an hour' line sounds great.
Everything I cook now is less than half an hour preparation (not necessarily cooking time of course).
I don't consider myslef a novice cook either but this seems very interesting indeed. Now, when I - eventually - go buying my dream Indian cookery book, you persuaded me to choose one of hers, which one then?

|comment= As you're not a novice cook, Magda, I think I'd go for [[India with Passion]]. Britspice is British/Indian cuisine but India with Passion is Indian food adapted only in the sense that ingredients have been substituted where the originals wouldn't be readily available in the UK. There's a wide range of foods other than curries. I went, in one step, from not having an Indian cookbook to having one which I found indispensible. If you were a novice cook then I'd recommend Britspice as being an ideal way of getting a homemade taste of Indian food. '''

|comment=''' Sounds absolutely fantastic, and I think it's fair to say I have my fingers crossed for the competition. I'm a dedicated cooker of Indian recipes, but always looking out for new approaches. I've downloaded a host of Udit Sarkhel's recipes from the web and looking forward to giving them a spin as well... '''

|comment=''' I like the way the review incorporates background information about the author as well as the detailed description of the book. It definitely sounds like a book that would be of use to me because of the clear instructions and the variety in the recipes. All in all the review is very thorough and the most useful aspect is that you have tried the recipes in the book. '''

|comment=''' I like the sound of this book (I want to win one in the competition!!) but I'd like to see a picture of a sample page if that's possible. I'd also like to know the page size and print size. I'm very fussy about my recipe books - they have to be printed clearly enough for me to be able to read the recipe easily without having to fiddle about with reading glasses when I've got sticky fingers. '''

|comment=''' I'm sure we'd have copyright problems if we produced a sample page, but if it helps, my elderly eyes have no problem with the font - I've seen many worse. '''

|comment=''' After reading this review I have finally found a gift I could give my father for christmas. He loves making currys (about the only thing he will cook) - all his own recipes and has a cupboard full of spices, some I have never even heard of. The hotter the better is his motto.
