This unillustrated economy paperback version of this book was produced by Piatkus as one of a series of four (they also did Balti, Vegetarian and Tandoori in this format). Being at a cheaper price-point it was intended to reach a wider audience than the original version and/or to make a good Christmas stocking filler.
It is printed on paperback standard paper and has no colour pictures. The text is identical to the original version.
Pat Chapman's second cookery book is the follow up volume to Pat's first book, the best-selling Indian Restaurant Cookbook.
Favourite Restaurant Cookbook has 150 new and different recipes collected from the chefs at top curry restaurants worldwide, enhanced by 8 colour plates.
The intro, gives a unique insight into the workings of the curry house.

Some of the restaurants:
Bombay Brasserie - London, Bukharra - Delhi, Curry Fever - Leicester, Ganges - Exeter, Raffles - Singapore, Rajpoot - Bath, Rong Mahal - Adelaide, Safeer - Nairobi, Veeraswamy - London

The book explains the very basics of Curry cooking, using the right utensils, storing spices, roasting spices, buying the appropriate ingredients for your store cupboard. It details how to make the various pastes and purees. The book contains all the popular recipes that you find in the restaurants.

A review on Amazon US by Peter Eaton
January 6, 2000
A pretty cool collection of hot recipes....
Like quite a few of Pat Chapmans other books, this one concentrates mostly on recipes, with a fairly sparse section on ingredients and methods. However, this is A Good Thing, if you already own one of the definitive works such as the author's The Curry Bible. The work, therefore, stands on the strength of its recipes. And it stands pretty tall on those. From the standards ( Chicken Madras ) to the downright yucky ( lambs brain curry), the recipes are easy to follow and as expected from this source, extremely tasty. Each recipe comes from a well-known curry house, mostly in the UK, but a few from the sub-continent, and the USA. Each is also accompanied with Pats' anecdote about the restaurant, which are frankly pretty tedious. Overall, an excellent, and pretty inexpensive collection of damn good recipes!
