Sabrina’s modern take on traditional South Asian dishes and the stories behind them makes an entertaining and tempting book!”– Michel Roux Jr

Modern South Asian Kitchen is a fascinating collection of recipes, encompassing traditional family dishes passed down through generations to contemporary, eclectic recipes that reflect a collaboration between cultures and experiences. Sabrina is the real deal... The delicious flavour combinations, fun playfulness of classic dishes and a genuine love for storytelling and recipe writing makes this a must for any bookshelf."– Ravneet Gill I think coconut curry dauphinoise or the ox cheek masala with coriander sauce vierge are pretty strong contenders in the running! I really wanted to create a book that was accessible, achievable and also representative of the big bold flavours that I love so much. I would have to add cauliflower cheese parantha to this list too – they are such a perfect mix of a classic flavour combination, but amped up with a little South Asian flair. How do you balance tradition and innovation in your cooking? Having spent my formative years in modern European kitchens – there are many classic French techniques that have shaped my more traditional Punjabi cookery practices – and vice versa.

There is much to be said for slowing down and taking time over meals. What is one kitchen tip everyone should know? PDF / EPUB File Name: Modern_South_Asian_Kitchen_-_Sabrina_Gidda.pdf, Modern_South_Asian_Kitchen_-_Sabrina_Gidda.epubWhat we loved about this book was that it features conversations with eight of her ‘sisters’ from South Asian heritage, who are also connecting with their history whilst breaking cultural and culinary boundaries. Modern South Asian Kitchen is a joyful celebration of how cooking brings together communities, families and friends. I wanted to capture in print some of my absolute favourite dishes that my Mother would cook – so it was clear immediately that these would be featured. And the rest were about manageable, confidence building dishes, to suit any occasion that would make people reach for their spices. I set out to provide enough support through the recipes to win when you make them, but enough flex that you can tweak them to your own palette. I also felt it was imperative to make the recipes fun! The only one that takes a little while is the masala bouillabase, but that calls for a good bottle of wine and a leisurely day of cooking! And which do you think is the biggest crowd-pleaser? It’s been a bittersweet time. My mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2021 and we lost her towards the end of last year. I got to cheers the deal with her. She would have been incredibly excited to see it published. Tell us about Modern South Asian Kitchen The book is an exploration of my culinary heritage. Most people don't associate me with Indian food because I've largely cooked modern European food over the course of my career. I launched Bernardi's (an upscale Italian restaurant in Marylebone) as executive chef in 2015 and have competed in The Roux Scholarship twice. But it all began in the kitchen at home for me watching my mum cook Punjabi food. The title of the book suggests it’s not only Punjabi recipes…
