I don't know the latter one; it may have started after I left the US. I used to subscribe to Cooking Light in the US. Here in the UK, I would buy it at Borders (I used Borders to buy imported US magazines :) until they went out of business in the UK -- a good year before they died in the US. I wanted to subscribe, but it's rather expensive. You can't go directly through them, as you do with many American magazines, but you have to go through an agency. It's something like £55 a year -- not even $55! Ouch! Hence, I use the website. :(

Ian likes it. It's a favourite around here.

So, on curry. Last Saturday, I made a Pakistani chicken and spinach dish. The recipe is from a book I've had for a few years, Curry, which has different chapters on different locations -- and with different authors. The Pakistan chapter is by Mahmood Akbar. I modified the recipe a lot, as it's for lamb and spinach, and I substituted chicken. (That was the first modification.) It worked well, so I could post it if people want. I didn't serve it with rice. Instead, I made a potato and spinach bake from the book Healthy Indian Cooking by Shehzad Husain, a book I picked up for 50p at a boot sale last year. I've made a few dishes from it.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try a chicken katsu curry recipe, allegedly a healthy one, as the coated chicken is baked, not fried. I'll let you know how it turns out.
