Gunpowder

Modern way of doing things…… without loosing the roots of the dish- great cook book

Interesting collection of recipes. Have already tried a few and they will stay in the repertoire. It is well presented. Good photographs.

Beautifully illustrated and clearly laid out collection of recipes from the excellent and eponymous small restaurants in London’s Spitalfields. So much to explore, so much to savour - and so much to enjoy.

Thank you. Order arrived by Christmas!

I bought the Kindle edition of this partly because of a review titled "Kolanji is not Black Cumin" which it is according to Wikipedia and various retailers on Amazon. After buying a large bag of it for an Asma Khan recipe and I needed some ideas for the remaining 295g. That and the fact that Devina Seth and her husband also hail from Kolkata and serve "home-style" recipes albeit Michelin star winning ones. Whereas Asma's recipes tend to have a short list of ingredients the ones in "Gunpowder" can be daunting. Over 30 in the case of Tandoori Paneer and Saag (although many are duplicates). The Big Plates section does have half a dozen game recipes In the event Waitrose is out of pheasant, quail or partridges (they don't sell bunny rabbits) chicken would have to do. I am particularly looking forward to tackling some of the sweet plates and drinks starting with their Bread & Butter pudding and "Gunpowder Regiment" which both feature Old Monk rum Yet another 99p Kindle bargin

Bought this as a gift for a friend after visiting the restaurant and had some great feedback, I've been told the recipes are easy to follow with some delicious outputs.
