A culinary adventure celebrating the iconic and tantalising world of curry – with classic recipes from all corners, designed for home enjoyment.

Around the World in 50 Curries is a visual feast in 50 recipes, travelling to India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, Japan and beyond. From the secret to a well-made massaman to advice around creating a harmonious spice balance, author and chef Jimmy Guo will set you on your way to spell-binding success.

From easy and familiar classics such as chicken tikka masala and dal to exotic dishes for special occasions like rendang and Sri Lankan crab curry, each recipe is a gateway to a new world of flavours and cultural tradition, promising a thrilling journey for foodies and home cooks alike.

A curry is far from what the British once called Indian food, and its history and variety spans so much more than just a powder or a tin of spice paste. Each region has its own traditions, spices, flavours and methods documented in these gorgeously photographed pages, with each recipe uncovering our global, ancient fascination with the flavours that have shaped the world through trade, migration and adaptation.

Including all the foundational know-how you'll need, enjoy this journey of discovery that, step by step, one ingredient at a time, explores the world's most influential and historic food cultures and the seductively intense flavours, colours and aromas that make them so popular.

Jimmy Guo, a chef and food creator, has a deep-seated curiosity and a burning passion for the origins of food cultures. He is on a journey to demystify and simplify the complex world of food. Also the author of My Chinese Pantry, he delves into the important nuances and details that make all the difference in the final result, ensuring his readers a genuinely enriching culinary experience. This is his second book.
