Xav's enthusiasm is highly contagious and with stew fever we had a hell of a time cooking, dancing, laughing and churning 80 recipes.

I’ve known Camellia and Namita Panjabi for almost 30 years, and in that time I’ve had the joy of working alongside them at Chutney Mary, Amaya, Veeraswamy and Masala Zone, enthusiastically plating dishes with their brilliant chefs. Camellia’s latest project is no exception to her legacy: like all her restaurants, it’s a labour of love, grit, and unshakable dedication. She’s poured months into researching, testing, re-testing, and fine-tuning every detail. A book that takes you on a journey through the vegetable kingdom from the humble potato to the mighty elephant foot yam. It’s a feast for the enquiring mind and a playground for the vegetarian adventurer.

CURRY ✹✹ 09.10.2025 A cookbook that charters regional Indian recipes, its communities and the dishes I have had the privilege of eating and cooking over the last 18 years. This book is a maximalist guide for those that love hearty home cooked curries and gravies with recipes that you can treasure over years that are full of flavour and bring joy. Whether you are cooking curries for the first time or are an experienced cook keen to discover a variety of recipes. If you love comfort food, soulful curries and sharing dishes with family and friends this one’s for you. I love this book so much and have worked over the last few years writing it. I’ve been looking through my notes from my travels across India and recipe testing for months has brought me more happiness than I can express. My aim has been to focus on the main dishes eaten across India. From cooking with warming spices, getting just the right consistency of the gravy, adding texture and elevating flavours. Think a myriad of spices, ghee tadkas and anecdotes on the holy grail of Indian cooking. I’m sharing it all and then some! Please show some love to this stunning cover designed by the talented team with visual inputs from yours truly. I can’t announce this book without acknowledging the stellar team that have strived to make my little dream come true and continued to show up to make Curry a truly special cookbook. @quadrillebooks @kj_mistry @hollyarnold81 Eila @liznmax @haahaphotography @evi_o.studio @vavaberry @louiewaller @alice_cooks_and_eats @eden_owenjones I want to bring the taste of India to your dinner tables and cant wait for you all to try the recipes. Preorder ur copies with the link in my profile. Get ready for this epic culinary adventure! X

đŸ”„INDIAN KITCHEN👌by @roopagul . If you've never been to India, start with Roopa's book. If you haven't ordered all the spices by page 10 - don't worry - you'll be checking airfares by page 247. Each recipe is a love letter to its region, a hug to a friend and a generous side of joy. What an essential masala for your cookbook collection! 📚 @bloomsburycooks Team Roopa: đŸ“· @yukisugiura.photo đŸ„Ł @jenkayprops đŸŒ¶ïž @roopagul @vavaberry @alice_cooks_and_eats

A bit of food nostalgia from 12 year old @robertbillingto ! L'Ă©tĂ© en France: souvenirs, souvenirs... fĂȘte de la moule, barbecue du camping et sa baraque Ă  frites, chichis Ă  la plage.
