I made Chickpea Tomato Ketchup Curry and Dhal both of which turned out quite well, although the Dhal was not spicy enough for me so I'd definitely add a bit more curry poweder next time. Also I accidentally added a tin of haricot beans to the curry intead of chickpeas, so the result looks an awful lot like baked beans! The worrying thing was how long it took me to realise... Maybe I'm not cut out for this cooking business!
ps As you can see I've been trying out the awesome free photolayouts from Pugly Pixel - what do you think? Pugly Pixel is my absolute favourite webdesign blog. It's amazing - you should definitely check it out, especially if you have photoshop or photoshop elements as it's got loads of great free tutorials and graphics.

I bought my boyfriend this book for Christmas, I've not had a chance to have a good look through it yet though. Hugh's books are always full of some great (and practical) recipes though.
Well done on the cooking, I'm sure it tasted delicious xxx
that looks absolutely yummy! i love making things from recipe books, but it costs a fortune to get all the ingredients - most of which you never use again :(
I think you did a great job! It looks delicious!! :)
Have a wonderful weekend! //Niina
i have to say, this looks delicious! i do want to try and extend my recipe repertoire, and this cook book does sound worth a look :)
This looks so delicious! Although I eat a lot of vegetarian food I never experiment with it too much, I have have to get the book if everything is a good as this looks! x
ohh, looks lovely. I am writing this as I eat left over dhal for lunch. I made it yesterday but not from a recipe. It is a great, easy and cheap meal to be able to throw together.

This looks lovely, but curry is not really my thing! I watched some of the show and I was thinking about the book because I don't eat much meat - would you recommend it? Have you tried any other recipes yet from it?
YUMMMM That looks delish. Did you make the bread yourself?
Ooo it all looks so tasty. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of meat I eat this year and to try new recipes. Love the picture layout xx
This looks so good ( a lovely 'after Christmas' meal)- great photos!

Teehee i was actually just thinking, oooh Harriets got some good layout going on here haha! Wow, good job on the curry - high five!
In answer to your comment, I used a tripod! I simply mounted the flash onto my camera and popped it on. Inly thing was, I didn't like using it sideways as the weight of the camera meant the angle was skewed so I had to use it horizontal

p.s I BLOODY LOVE RIVER COTTAGE!
Pretty sure I require this book in my life.
This looks so yummy, are there any veggie recipes?

Oooh that looks delicious! Dhal reminds me of my old uni housemate, she used to make serious batches and would clog up our freezer for weeks on end! Haha. Also, I love Pugly Pixel too, it's such a great place to grab graphics etc. I really want to put some of those to good use!
This looks amazing, I love dhal, it's one of the only Indian things I like!

I agree with Lucy - bloody love River Cottage :). This recipe looks delicious.
I loved your resolution to do one new thing a week - I think that is something I need to adopt too, and to stop wishing the year away! x
This recipe looks delicious. I tried a aubergine and green bean curry recipe out of the book last week. It was tasty, but like you dhal it wasn't spicy enough. x
