Floyd’s Great Curries
I thought it wasn’t possible to cook a really decent curry at home, but this book has helped prove me wrong. Covering Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, Malaysian, Egyptian and Indonesian, there’s a large scope of recipes to discover and build upon.
French Desserts
The book is short and sweet at 63 pages, but it’s all about quality, not quantity. It covers the main areas, light desserts, tartes, gateaux and basics – the recipe for sweet pastry is a great base to build upon, and add your own fillings too.
