Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape
Gordon Ramsay
The British love affair with Indian cooking has long been underway; today dishes like tikka masala and balti curries are as popular and well loved as the more traditional roast beef. In his Great Escape, Gordon Ramsay travels across India tasting dishes and compiling recipes. As well as the usual meat, fish, and vegetarian meals, there are breads, chutneys, accompaniments, snacks and street type food. The usually neglected sweets get a good chapter here too; coconut burfi and rosewater kulfi are typical offerings. There is also a very useful glossary of ingredients and lots of colour pitcures. Hardcover, 272 pp. $34.95.
