The second link doesn't work for me. The first link to Minnie Matthew looks authentic from the recipes shown. How good the recipes are, I have no idea!

 

Second link does not work for me either.  Let me try again...

(eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

I just bought this while in-country. The writer takes a systematic approach to different types of dishes and then variations. He pays attention to regional and communal variations without getting bogged down. The recipes are approachable and the ingredient lists are achievable in any large UK city. There are a few line drawings, but no photographs. I have no idea about the availability of this book abroad. I am so looking forward to cooking from this when I get back to England.

It is certainly available from Amazon in Canada.

I see it's published by Penguin Books, the company which first popularised paperback books in 1935. They are worldwide. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't available most places.

Once you cook from it a bit, can you please let us know your thoughts about how the recipes come out?

I fully intend to cook from it, and to report back! The limiting factor is the real-life audience for my food, who don't like it hot. The family I was born into like Asian food hot. We'll see.
