Who remembers this iconic book, published in 1982 that changed the way we think about curry? Curry is the subject of my latest #welllovedcookbookchallenge, a monthly return to the books we grew up on and still love. I’ve been asking my readers to share and maybe remake their favourite curry recipe from a book that’s over 10 years old and have had some great suggestions already (see link in bio). Do tell me yours. . . . #curry #cookbook #madhurjaffreyAfter two days of unseasonably soggy weather it’s been glorious to see Tuscany in the (albeit slightly watery) sun. Especially the stunning estate and gardens of @chianticlassico producer Villa Calcinaia. . . . #tuscany #wine #vineyard #chianticlassico #greveinchianti #presstripPerfect day yesterday to see the white cliffs of Dover at first hand - for the first time, in my case. Hard to get Vera Lynn out of your head … . . . #stmargaretsbay #whitecliffsofdover #cliffs #sea #coast #kent*that* spider crab omelette @mountain.restaurant. You slice it down the middle and it falls open in all its glory. And the colour of the eggs …. Just amazing. More highlights in this week’s #friday5.
