A celebration of India’s rich culinary history

At the launch of his latest book, Romance of the Indian Curry: 365 Flavours for the Year, chef Davinder Kumar shared his enduring love for curries.

Curry, in my opinion, is not just a dish — it’s an emotion, a history, a story,” said chef Davinder Kumar at the launch of his latest book, Romance of the Indian Curry: 365 Flavours for the Year.

Unveiled on Saturday evening in the Capital, this marks chef Kumar’s sixth book, one that takes a deep dive into the diversity of Indian cuisine, coupled with striking food photography.

“The book is an encyclopedia of curry recipes from across the country. Every recipe has been carefully tested in my kitchen before finding its place in these pages,” he shared.
