This richly visual resource not only includes more than 100 recipes in 12 elaborate menus, each originally presented at one of Curry Cravings™ secret supper club dinners, but it also provides cohesive and balanced menu plans, that allows readers to compose entire feasts from scratch, corresponding shopping cheat-sheet and a wealth of practical notes that build confidence with the cuisine. Each themed menu includes personal notes and showcase regional or culturally significant dishes and helps hosts with a variety of event planning ideas – from how to prep beforehand, what activities might interest different age groups as well as additional reading, games, Bollywood recommendations and activities that will help create memorable gatherings.
