Editorial Review:
'Inspirational and easy to follow, you'll never look at Rogan Josh the same way again.'
'More than 130 recipes from the restaurant that revolutionised the way we think about Indian food.'
One of the biggest, hottest cookery books to be published this year -- recipes from the most groundbreaking Indian restaurant in the world, famously situated in the ultra-glamorous surroundings of the Old Westminster Library. Famous for its unique, award-winning blend of Western and European influences, it has become one of the top half-dozen destination restaurants in the capital. Iqbal Wahhab and Vivek Singh have taken their dazzling recipes and adapted them for the domestic kitchen. All of the Cinnamon Club's signature dishes are here, within sections that cover all the elements of the Cinnamon Club experience, together with a seminal essay on matching wine with spice. The Cinnnamon Club Cookbook is a celebration of the possibility of the new and a testament to the passion and vision of two exceptional culinary talents.
Iqbal Wahhab was a distinguished food journalist and restaurant publicist who famously edited Tandoori Magazine and claimed that most Indian restaurant staff were 'miserable gits'. Perhaps not surprisingly, he was sacked from his editorial post and so he decided to put his (and other people's) money where his mouth was and set about creating the greatest Indian restaurant in the world using the stunning talents of India's leading young chef, Vivek Singh. The rest is the stuff of restaurant legend.

Excellent delicious indian food This is a very good book. Great, inovative flavours. Recipes from different regions in India, so you can get an idea of the vast cuisine in india. Its worth heading to indian shops to get all the specialist ingredients. This book probably isnt best for beginners, as there are often several components to each dish, and often has more a few stages in the preparation. Saying this, dont be put off, the results are well worth the effort. Great indian cookbook.
Awful Probably the worst Indian cook book I've seen. I returned it the same day for a refund.
Lovely to look at and lovely to eat! Great book - not only does it look fantastic but is really easy and clear to follow. The flavours are amazing, it'll change the way you think about Indian food. It's also really informative, with an interesting history section. All in all, its the sort of book you not only love cooking from but also love reading time and time again.
The spirit and style of the Cinnamon Club at home This book finally brings the unique spirit and style of the Cinnamon Club to your home. Iqbal and Vivek have clearly redefined Indian food to a superior level. While the dishes are exotic, they are also straightforward to create, providing everyone with oustanding results.
