Curry racconta la storia di una serie di piatti indiani familiari e delle persone che li hanno inventati, scoperti, cucinati e mangiati. Curry è vivido, divertente e delizioso. "Affascinante e meticolosamente studiato... stratifica fatti storici con pettegolezzi da tavola da acquolina in bocca" Meera Syal, The Times Questo libro fantasioso racconta la storia dell'India e dei suoi governanti attraverso il loro cibo. Segue la storia del curry mentre si diffondeva dalle corti di Delhi alle case balti di Birmingham. Curry è il prodotto della lunga storia di invasioni dell'India. Sulla scia dei conquistatori Mughal, un esercito di cuochi portò ricette persiane nell'India settentrionale; a sud, i mercanti di spezie portoghesi introdussero le marinate all'aceto e i peperoncini che avevano scoperto di recente nel Nuovo Mondo; gli inglesi li seguirono presto, con la loro passione per la carne arrosto accompagnata da cavolfiori e fagioli. Quando questi nuovi ingredienti furono mescolati con spezie autoctone, produssero questi piatti distintamente indiani.
