dorchadas: (Zombies together!)
And that's the end! I wrote a review of 50 Great Curries of India, though it's about half as long as the other reviews I write. Which shouldn't be surprising, I suppose, considering how much I've already written about the curries in there. It's kind of odd realizing that my weekend nights aren't going to require me to write these anymore. Though now that it's November I should really finish my first draft of The Lamplighter's Guild.

If this is the first time you're reading this, hi! [personal profile] schoolpsychnerd and I made every curry in the book 50 Great Curries of India over the course of a little over a year, and I wrote about what I thought about them.

Not sure if I'm going to do another one of these any time soon. That curry was great, but this was a lot of writing--around 50K words for the full list of entries. Not to mention that we don't really have any other cookbooks with quite the same unifying theme. We have a stir-fry cookbook, but that's hundreds of pages and would take years, and a potato cookbook that...well, I'm not fond of a lot of the ways that potatoes are cooked. I'm not sure that'd be a good idea. For now, I think I'll rest on my laurels. And now we know what curries in the book are good, so there's plenty of good eating ahead.
