IN THE KITCHEN: Sanjeev Kapoor: ‘How To Cook Indian’
Celebrity chef Sangeev Kapoor has been called “The Rachael Ray of India” by CNN. According to Food and Wine magazine, he has 500 million viewers in 120 countries, more than 140 cookbooks, and more than 20 restaurants, in addition to just launching a new 24-hour food/lifestyle TV channel.
Yet, so far most of his following is outside of the U.S., although might be about to change. The culinary superstar’s first major cookbook for the American audience has just been published, and he makes an appearance at MarketFair’s Barnes & Noble on March 31.
In How to Cook Indian, India’a celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor introduces his international audiences to his simple cooking approach with a definitive book.
His collection covers the depth and diversity of Indian recipes, including such favorites as butter chicken, palak paneer, and samosas, along with less-familiar dishes that are sure to become new favorites, including soups and shorbas; kebabs, snacks, and starters; main dishes; pickles and chutneys; breads; and more. The ingredients are easy to find in US, Canada and UK, and suggested substitutions make these simple recipes even easier. This book can very easily be labeled as the only Indian cookbook people abroad will ever need!
Says Chef Kapoor about his first book for the international audiences: Indian cookery is a long held passion of mine. All my travels, all my experiences have been instrumental in making me the chef that I am. I have filled this book with pieces from my heart, some culinary stories, some recipes with information of the past, some recipes with flavors that have survived and many more recipes that are reborn. Food & Wine Magazine says "It's time for Americans to finally learn about India's first and biggest celebrity chef, Sanjeev Kapoor.” Publishers’ Weekly says: "He may not be an icon here yet, but Sanjeev Kapoor is certainly one in India, where he has been called 'the Rachael Ray of India' but by Ray's own admission, he has a bigger audience, has published more books, and been on TV longer.”
