Book description
The Patels and Prashad, their small Indian restaurant in Bradford, were
the surprise stars of Ramsay's Best Restaurant TV show in autumn 2010.
Everyone who saw them fell in love with this inspirational family
dedicated to serving delicious, original vegetarian food. At the heart
of the family is Kaushy, who learned to cook as a child growing up on
her grandmother's farm in northern India. On moving to northern England
in the 1960s, she brought her passion for fabulous flavours with her and
has been perfecting and creating dishes ever since. Never happier than
when feeding people, Kaushy took her son Bobby at his word when he
suggested that she should share her cooking with the world - a
launderette was converted in to a deli and then a restaurant, and
Prashad was born. Now Kaushy shares her cooking secrets - you'll find
more than 100 recipes, from simple snacks to sumptuous family dinners,
to help you recreate the authentic Prashad experience at home. Whether
it's cinnamon-spice chickpea curry, green banana satay, spicy sweetcorn
or chaat - the king of street-side India - there's plenty here for
everyone to savour and share. 'The food is flawless ... absolutely
phenomenal, I was blown away' Kaushy Patel uses the kitchen skills
learned at her grandmother's knee in the Gujarat to transform
traditional dishes with her own touches and create fresh, flavoursome
food - whether cooking for friends and relations at home or for the
lucky diners at Prashad, the Patel family's amazing vegetarian Indian
restaurant. The warmest and friendliest of chefs, Kaushy won over the
Great British viewing public when the Patel family appeared on 2010's
Ramsay's Best Restaurant, in which Prashad was the series runner-up. She
added teaching to her talents in 2011 and gives highly sought-after
lessons at Dean Clough's Cooking School, enabling Kaushy to share her
passion for food with even more people.
