"I am so glad that I made the trip to Melbourne to meet you and to taste your Milk Wine. When I read about it in the Newsletter of the Silver Fawn Club, I rang you and arranged to go to your wine tasting at the Tullamarine Community Hall. Unfortunately I was unable to attend due to unforseen circumstances.

However I did manage to get down in April, when I arranged with you to come to your house to taste your Milk Wine. I am so glad I did, as your Milk Wine is as good as that which my Grandmother used to make with the traditional Arrack back in Ceylon.

My very first alcoholic drink was a small glass of Milk Wine on New Years Eve to see the New Year in!! I was all of 14 Years old!!

Thank you for the CD, I am looking forward to making some myself.
Yours faithfully, Shirley P, Queensland, Australia."

"I have really enjoyed using the recipes from the original Curry Mad book.
The compliments keep flowing whenever I cook something from the Curry Mad recipe book! I especially love the Beef Smore and Love Cake recipes.
I will be looking forward to trying out the recipes of the Curry Mad II book in the near future.
Thanks again and keep them coming." Louise M. Sydney, Australia.

"Hi Tony, just thought I'd drop you an eMail about your "freebee" recipes from your web site. I have tried your 1) Bombay Toast and 2) Bread & Butter pudding and am quite happy to let you know that they both tasted exactly the same as my dear old Mum (may she rest in peace) used to make 60 to 70 years ago when I was a kid! Then I had a go at some of the recipes in "Curry Mad" and can assure your that our old "Kussiamma" (Sri Lankan cook) at home could hardly have done them better. This would be truly praise indeed, especially the prawn curry, as she was a real jewel. Thanks a lot Tony, looking forward to "Curry Mad II" Please reserve me a copy. These are truly authentic Sri Lankan recipes as we used to enjoy back home. Best Regards. Anton."

"Re Curry Mad
I am a Sri Lankan living in the Phillippines and cook reasonably well. However, whenever I want to prepare an authentic Sri Lankan dish for special occasions, or a special dish, I turn to Curry Mad for a recipe. One of my favourites is the prawn curry and some of the vegetables are also great. I have also prepared many of the sweets and Christmas season favourites, not to mention the tit-bits in the "Taste" section when sipping on Tanduay (Phillippine Rum) on the beach. All in all, I think that if one enjoys curries, particularly Sri Lankan curries, one can't go past Curry Mad for authenticity, taste, simplicity and ease of preparation."
