Indian Cooking Class

I've just recently came in third place at the Salon Culinaire Competition hosted at Bedfordshire College in association with UK Curry Connect & I'm through to the World Finale in Luxemberg.

My passion for Indian food started as a teenager working at an Indian restaurant on the weekends. Years later after graduating from university I opened a Corporate Communications company and got the chance to spend 7 years in India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia which is where I took my passion to new heights. I regularly got the opportunity to watch people cooking in their homes and managed to get behind the scenes in the kitchens of many restaurants where I picked up a so many cooking styles and methods which greatly increased my use of a wide range of ingredients and dish knowledge.

​

I returned to England several years ago after eating nothing but South Asian food for so long, I was a little disappointed with the Indian food in the UK. I decided to write my first book ‘British Indian Restaurant Food at Home’ which combined some of the tricks of British Indian restaurants but tweaked with authentic Indian cookery styles. After the success of the first book I then went onto write my second ‘Authentic South Indian Cuisine’ which was also published.

I was then lucky enough to get a job as a tour chef for Wiz Khalifah. While touring I received so many amazing compliments about my food, especially my Indian food, that it gave me the idea to start a YouTube channel demonstrating my pan-South Asian cooking skills, and to date have over 300 recipes.  I have made Indian food/cookery a big part of my life, and I want to share what I have learned over the past three decades with others.
