Book description
Award-winning author and instructor Raghavan Iyer explores the origin of curry across the globe with 50 recipes in this illustrated cookbook about the simmering, scrumptious history and lore of a globally beloved dish. On the Curry Trail is an enlightening journey across Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas to explore the origins of curry and the signature, essential curries of each region. This diaspora of curry brings alive not only the most iconic, category-defining recipes from these continents, but also the history, lore, anecdotes, and familial remembrances that fashion each dish. It delves into the story of curry--what it was and what it is, the places to which it has traveled and the ways it has evolved en route (whether because of local ingredients, cultural tastes, or other factors)--and embraces the many interpretations and definitions of this beloved dish. It makes the flavors of these scintillating curries accessible to the everyday home cook. On the Curry Trail is at once a mash note and an education--one rich in history and sense of place--that tells the definitive, delectable story of this beguiling dish in 50 irresistible recipes. Illustrations throughout.

ListenBook's compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch adds convenience to my audiobook routine. CUE playlist support is a fantastic organizational feature. It keeps my audiobooks neatly arranged. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.

I can't get enough of this app's user-friendly interface – it's a true delight. ListenBook's audio filters have given me the power to tailor my listening experience to my preferences. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction feature is a game-changer for immersive listening in any environment. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.

Savoring audiobooks without complications – this app's design is commendable. This was a competent audiobook production with no major flaws.

Mr. Wholesome
Effortless audiobook exploration – this app's functionality is remarkable. Perfect for both first-time listeners and audiobook veterans! The narrator's warm, inviting tone made this an incredibly comfortable listening experience. I particularly appreciated how well they handled dialogue - each character felt distinct without being cartoonish. The pacing kept me engaged throughout. This was a workmanlike audiobook that did the job without flair. The narration was clear and the pacing appropriate, though the delivery lacked some emotional depth. The production quality was acceptable with no major technical issues.
