With all of that in mind, once you know what you're getting, it's a lovely book, charting the history and development of curries around the world (including interesting side-notes, for example the tradition of lager with curries was started by the King of Denmark, who used to visit London once a month in the 1850's for a duck vindaloo and had a cask of Carlsberg sent over to accompany it each time) and also providing a large number of curry recipes.
