I love curry, normally mine comes from the Indian Take Away from down the road, or from out of a jar. The thought of cooking a curry from scratch was nerve racking...however being on the slimming world diet I thought it can't be any worse than the other concoctions I have taken to eating in a bid to lose weight.
I have only made 2 things from the book so far,a chicken curry which was even nicer when it had been frozen and reheated and the onion bhaji's which were really, really good but for those in the know quite high in syn value. However, a lot of the curries can be made syn free comparred to 10 syns and over for a jar of curry sauce.
The book is hard back and the pages are of a high glossy finish. The instructions are easy to follow although I doubt the pictures used in the book actually relate to the ingrediants they suggest, or maybe my cooking really is that bad?
The book has quite a long section at the beginning explaining the origins of curry and all of the basic ingrediants that you will need to make the dishes in the book. It also explains the basic's of the slimming world diet in case you have not read your food optimising book!
The receipe's are one to a page, with every other one having a full page picture of the finished product. The different sections of the book are well defined: starters, salads, meat, poultry, fish, rice and lentils and pulses, vegetables and accompaniments.
The book cost me (I think) £8 from my slimming world consultant which I think is great value for money and less then other curry cook books I have seen. This book has lovely receipe's whether you are following the slimming world plan or not!

When you're feeling hungry or in a real hurry, it is so easy to opt for the quickest option. But fast food doesn't have to be junk food. "30-Minute Meals" helps you to provide nutritious, wholesome food for all the family, not just those who are slimming, without getting stuck in the kitchen for hours on end. This book is full to bursting with more than 120 recipes based on Slimming World's acclaimed Food Optimising programme. Highlights among the soups and starters are hot and sour seafood soup, chive and mushroom quiches, or pink peppercorn and smoke salmon pate. For filling snacks, try the skillet 'pizzas' or Tex-Mex tacos, or for a truly tempting salad choose between tiger prawns and asparagus or grilled calamari and rocket. Meat and fish recipes include roasted citrus chicken and pork and mango parcels, or try oven-baked sea bass with bacon and cherry tomatoes. There are some wonderfully tempting vegetable dishes, such as baked spinach gnocchi or basil and chilli linguini, while the dessert menu includes amaretti stuffed nectarines and cinnamon poached pears.Anyone interested in easy-to-prepare, full-flavoured and healthy food will find this book useful, whether they are slimming or not!
