Another book arrived today, Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian cookery.  This was one of the books from Jay Rayners series of books that he said changed the way we cooked.  Over the years I have lost many cookbooks, some of which are back on my wish list now.  I used to have Madhur’s vegetarian cookery book which was a gorgeous deep purple colour and it was large and full of gorgeous recipes.  I was quite surprised when this little book turned up. This book has been well thumbed and used and I love that, it makes me want to dive in and start cooking. I have some modern Indian cookery books and so I am interested to see how different the cooking from this old little book that inspired so many.
