The flavourful history of a much-disputed, much-loved food

Curry is one of the most widely used – and misused – terms in the culinary lexicon. Outside of India, the word is often employed as a catch-all to describe any Indian dish or food, yet Indians rarely use it to describe their own cuisine. This book answers the fundamental question ‘What is curry?’ by offering a lively account of its many incarnations.

In this global history, food writer Colleen Taylor Sen examines the Anglo-Indian origins of curry and how it has been adapted throughout the world. Exploring the curry universe beyond India and Great Britain, she chronicles the elegant, complex curries of Thailand; the exuberant curries of the Caribbean; Japan’s favourite comfort food kari raisu; Indonesian gulais and rendangnonya cuisine; and exotic Western hybrids, such as American curried chicken salad, German currywurst and Punjabi-Mexican-Hindu pizza.

Along the way, Sen unravels common myths and illuminates the world of curry with titbits from popular songs, literary works and historical and modern recipes.

Colleen Taylor Sen is the author and co-editor of several books, including Food Culture in India, Curry: A Global History, Street Food Around the World, A Guide to Indian Restaurant Menus, and Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India. She is a regular contributor of articles on food and travel to major newspapers and magazines and specializes in ethnic and Asian cuisines, particularly India’s foodways.
