From the dust jacket: Making a curry can be a simple or a very complicated process and Helen Lawson in this book explains this intriguing art. For anyone who has never tasted or made a curry, here is a wonderful opportunity to learn how to prepare and cook the real thing - a dish which may be described as a spice hot-pot - one of the most fascinating and superbly flavoured specialtities of the East.
Pissed myself laughing! Helen Lawson is obviously an expert in her field. Whether it's the disgusting photos, terrible recipes or casual racism there is fun for the whole family in every page. To be fair it is from the 1970s, and they say the past is a different country. That may be true, but you wouldn't want to eat the food there.
