'Wagner, Beethoven and Hendrix might have chanced the vindaloo, but Mozart, Debussy and John Denver were probably korma or, perhaps dhansak guys on a daring night. ' - IAN ANDERSON

'By activating several areas of the tongue simultaneously, we are literally dazzling our taste buds to a state of confusion. Traditional British foods fail to do this, due to the basic flavour combinations. When we crave a curry it seems our taste buds are literally crying out for stimulation.' - PROFESSOR STEPHEN GRAY

'The British invaded India in the 19th century with gunpowder. Now we have come back... and transformed whole swathes of British society with curry powder.' - SIR GULAM NOON

Description:

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 palates 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.
