For conditions, please view our photographs. An original book from the library gathered by the famous Cambridge Don, computer scientist, food and wine connoisseur, Jack Arnold LANG.

Jack founded the Michelin Guide ‘Midsummer House’- Cambridge’s paramount restaurant. This dining experience is hidden amongst the grassy pastures and grazing cattle of Midsummer Common and perched on the banks of the River Cam. The Midsummer House experience is imaginatively curated to delight and amaze, so the surprise set menu changes regularly and is ‘Midsummer’s’ playground to showcase.

Most of us are introduced to Indian food at a restaurant and this wonderful book will teach you the simple, effective and time-saving techniques used by Indian chefs. At last, you too can bring the flavour of your local curry restaurant to your home and make it your own. Unlike many cookery books, in this book Pat Chapman’s straightforward instructions focus on how to create food with an infinite variety of tastes, helping you to cook delicious, hassle-free meals. There is an excellent selection of well-tested dishes combining all your restaurant favourites with a liberal sprinkling of recipes you’ll find in Indian homes. With a little practice you will be able to produce snacks, meals or even banquets that will delight your family and friends and leave most Indian restaurants at the starting gate.

Review: I bought this as I have a few of Pat Chapman’s books already, Modern it said in the title so I bought the book to update my collection only to discover it is word for word as Favourite Restaurant Curries first published 1988. I feel the printers are wrong to give the impression this is a new book.

Pat Chapman’s cookery books have sold around one million copies worldwide. His Balti Curry Cookbook, the first ever book on the subject, became a Sunday Times Number One Bestseller. His most recent book, The New Curry Bible, is selling very well indeed, and is reprinting continually. Pat is the founder of the Curry Club, which has been running for over 20 years and now has 15,000 members. It forms the basis of a national network of curry restaurant reporters, which leads to the annual publication of the highly successful Good Curry Guide
