Just got the book and cooked the Chicken Passanda (p 192). Fabulous! The guy is a natural, albeit more modest, successor to the genius that was Keith Floyd.
Recommended reading and cooking.

Can you buy the ingredients in this country? His last book was full of stuff you couldn't get hold of so was a waste of time

All standard curry extras apart from Kashmiri Chilli Powder. I don't even know what the difference is or was?

His Spanish series was well lush, in every sense of the word.
Even stat club jnrs, who are far to young for an adult cookery/travelogue programme, got into it.

It's quite mild which means you can use a lot giving colour and flavour as well as heat.

Luckily leaving near Tooting it's a store cupboard favourite.

If you have trouble getting it send me a PM.

I will check this out, was impressed with the short series he did covering the far East before. Lovely to know that a chef's passion for food does not always have to end up as a schoolboys swearing session.

Watching the latest series ATM but prefer it when he cooks fish dishes that's what he's best at.

Really, what recipes are they then? With all the Asian and Chinese stores about the place you can get 99% of everything he uses, at least I always have been able to.

Oh, tell me about it. The day I heard Mary Berry tell viewers "Bollocks to what the recipe book says, just chuck in a spoonful of f*****g Stork margarine & be done with it" was a low point for me.

Plenty of fish recipes in the book. Believe me , the Passanda was unbelievably great, though I say it myself. I made it with Chicken Thighs as I think they are tastier than chicken breasts. Tomorrow I will try something else.
