Food devotee and Crazy bone Kunal Vijayakar launched his Maiden Cook book ‘Made in India’ with Jaico Publishing House

Food devotee and Crazy bone Kunal Vijayakar launched his Maiden Cook book ‘Made in India’ with Jaico Publishing House

  In the presence of guest of honors Cyrus Broacha, Boman Irani, Bharat Dhabolkar,Perizaad Zorabian and Rashmi Uday Singh    

          

The pioneers of English paperback publishing, Jaico Publishing House collaborates with Mr. Kunal Vijayakar, Film actor, comedian, TV host of the famous Times Now Foodie Show to launch 60 mouth-watering recipes from desi kitchens and bylanes –‘Made in India’ at Trident, Nariman Point on 10^th February, 2015.A compendium of recipes that are often simple and tweaked to suit today’s fast-paced life, though some need the effort, perseverance and love that good food demands. The cookbook was unveiled in the presence of the host for the evening-Cyrus Broacha, TV anchor, comedian, columnist and author, Boman Irani, Indian film and theatre actor,Bharat Dhabolkar, actor and director, Perizaad Zorabian, actress and the famous food critic Rashmi Uday Singh.

This book is a buffet, an eclectic spread of some iconic, some forgotten and some beloved food that India has to offer. In his inimitable style as a food writer of many years, the author has jotted down his thoughts, including some nuggets of information and his mouthwatering experiences alongside his recipes. The dishes in the book are also beautifully photographed, including pictures of some of the author’s favorite food moments.

On his journey across the country, Kunal discovered some delectable and unexplored food joints and kitchens that led him to catch the culinary bug.

Known for his sense of humor Mr. Kunal S.Vijayakar says “I should have only myself to thank, because the amount of time, stamina and stress it has taken me to put together this small compendium of recipes is shameful. I’m not saying this is a great literary work, but I’ve literally had to slog to select and deliver these recipes. Since I am no chef, I could not conjure dishes as I went along. Instead, I’ve had to delve into my beginnings, recollect my excursions, extract from my retentiveness and borrow from the classics.

As rightly said, "Keep Calm & Eat On"!
