This is one of the first two books in a new series of titles from the "Curry Club". Here, Pat Chapman concentrates on the spiciest, hottest curries to be found around the world. Recipes include Indian restaurant favourites like Phal, Madras, Chilli Masala, and, of course, Vindaloo, as well as fiery curries from countries such as Jamaica and Thailand. Chapters include meat dishes, poultry, fish and seafood, and vegetables. There is also a chapter on accompaniments which includes a special recipe for Chilli Bread as well as recipes for powerful chutneys and cooling raitas.
