Having visited India about 30 times in the last decade, I am prompted to revisit Keith Floyd after having seen several of the new (2007) series of "Rhodes Around India" on UK TV Food. Gary is all so serious, like a fish out of water, and always trying to second guess the Indian chefs who are there to teach him how to cook authentic Indian grub. Keith bubbles over with enthusiasm and wit: he clearly loves the country, and this is reflected in this book. Not only are Keith's television programmes on India so much more entertaining and informative than the Rhodes series, but the book really does translate the on-screen cooking into easy-to-follow and helpful recipes, of great variety. His introduction is a great non-culinary bonus. There have been ... Read More:

Being a chef myself who specializes in Indian cuisine , this is a precise book for a good all-round venture to this wonderful world of curries.
There is just one thing missing though.... a step by step guide in MAKING the the actual pastes rather than relying on the convenience of bought products. >>More Details |

Floyd on Franceby: Keith Floyd September 10, 1987 Best Selling > Books > Keith Floyd |

|
In the highly unlikely event that I am ever appointed Dictator, one of my first acts will be to garnish with the ermine Keith Floyd (Lord Floyd of Chandos, perhaps, in commemoration of the address of his restaurant in Bristol, unhappily departed by the time I was a student in that city) for services to gastronomy. I'd then appoint him Minister of Food with draconian powers to do dreadful things to fast food restaurants and TV dinner manufactures.
This book on its own justifies ennoblement. A slim volume but one packed with a wealth of excellent recipes and anecdote. The book froths with Floyd's enthusiasm for food and France. The dishes range from the simple ("Easy Hollandaise Sauce") to the complex ("Whole Duck Terrine") ... Read More: >>More Details |

As a big fan of Mr Floyd I found this book a bit of a letdown. In general the book begins with detailed and amusing anecdotes - great stuff. However, three quarters of the way through everything speeds up to a flat, disappointing and rushed ending. I know that it's a slice of life, and life can be normal and mundane, even for celeb chefs. However, the latter part of the book feels like Floyd was against a deadline and therefore dispensed with the wit, energy and detail of the first part of the book. It is now somewhat out of date too.
Keith.....Re-write the last third, update, and re-release. I would buy it! >>More Details |

Floyd's Chinaby: Keith Floyd November 07, 2005 Best Selling > Books > Keith Floyd |

Now, I haven't seen the TV series which this book is supposed to accompany, so I cannot make a comparison that way. However, I do know (and love) my Chinese cooking, having eaten the real stuff all my life, so I can compare my decades of experience with Floyd's professional culinary finesse. I would have to say that Floyd has definitely managed to capture a good number of the signature dishes which many Westerners do not know about. Simply, because people outside of China, think Chinese people eat takeaway food all the time. This is disturbingly incorrect, and now I'm glad that a well-known chef has finally shown what is really eaten. In typical Keith Floyd style, he maintains that almost all recipes should have some form of ... Read More: >>More Details |

An outstanding effort and my personal favourite of the Floyd books. The recipies are without exception both fairly simple to cook and absolutely delicious. My Spanish in-laws have also confirmed that they are pretty authentic!
