I thought this was a good book and worth the read if you're an Indophile, but I do have some criticism.

Collingham gives us a quick and dirty history of curry, which ends up of being the history of India, the spice trade, imperialism and colonialism (particularly the British colonization of the region), as well as the immigration of Indians to Britain and the Americas. Obviously, that's much to cover in one 250+ page book ... too much to cover.

I felt like I was being whisked through a historical timeline, only allowed the bullet points.

There are some nice anecdotes, particularly early on and later on in the book, but there was no real connection. Though Collingham obviously knows her stuff, she doesn't make you feel India.

Still worth a read, though. Loved the addition of recipes!
