On the menu were lip-smacking delicacies such as Cheese Papad, chocolate cake and Kebabs that taste like as Kapoor put it, “Makki di roti and sarson da saag”.

Freddie Braganza, a food lover from Versova, who attended the session said, “This is the first time I have heard Kapoor speak. I have never watched any of his television shows. But I was impressed. The event was very informative and even a bad cook like me will be able to make edible dishes with Kapoor’s recipes.”

Aruna Fernandes, a housewife from Colaba, who regularly watches Kapoor’s shows said, “My favourite are his kebab recipes. I try so many of his dishes and they always turn out to be delicious.”
