Anjum Anand
Chef and writer Anjum Anand has worked in innovative restaurants around the world, but her real love is delicious food which is simple to cook at home. She challenges fiercely the assertion that Indian food is heavy and difficult to cook and is determined to make 'cooking an Indian', as easy as rustling up a stir fry.
Anjum grew up in London, but has also studied in Geneva, Paris and Madrid. After gaining a European diploma in business she decided to develop her interest in Indian cookery. She has made it her mission to make her native food fresher, lighter and simpler to cook.
