Nicola heard through her Mum that Hamish was a good cook, and very very good at cooking curries, something he must have inherited from his Mum, Pam. I agree - both Pam and Hamish cook fabulous curries, which reflects the Pryce family's long and strong association with India, the place of Hamish's grandfather Ernest and father Peter's birth, Peter and Pam's wedding, and Hamish's birth.
Nicola wanted Hamish to show her how to cook a proper India curry from scratch using real spices, so Hamish drew on an old family favourite,
Madhur Jaffrey's Rogan Josh, and he and Nicola spent a couple of hours in the kitchen when we got home preparing the curry feast. My contribution to the meal was my always popular lentil dahl.

We had a great home cooked meal and a lovely last night in Seattle. Thank you Nicola for your wonderful hospitality and for planning our long weekend so well. We will be back one day, and will look forward to seeing you next year when you come to New Zealand at some stage over summer.
