| Anjum Anand is a British Indian food writer and TV chef of Indian cuisine. She is considered one of the first food writers to create Indian recipes to cater for the health conscious cook.
Anjum Anand grew up in London but has also lived and studied in Geneva, Paris, and Madrid. She speaks French and Spanish, holds a degree in European business administration, and for a period ran a business importing flat-pack furniture from eastern Europe. She has worked in the kitchens of hotel restaurants including at Café Spice in New York, as a waitress in Park Royal Hotel in New Delhi, and for Tommy Tang at Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles.
Her perspective on adapting healthy meals from a traditionally rich Indian diet came from personal experience of weight problems while growing up. Her diet consists of varied traditional dishes, recreated with wholesome ingredients and limited oil.
|
At age 25 her first book Indian Every Day: Light Healthy Indian Food was published.
Anand
became a regular guest on UKTV Food's Great Food Live from 2004 to
2007, and featured in the BBC Two series Indian Food Made Easy broadcast
in 2007. Her accent and flirtatious manner have led to her being dubbed
"the Nigella Lawson of Indian cuisine in Britain". Reacting to
descriptions of herself as "television's tastiest chef", she finds it
"preposterous". You can find a collection of her cooking videos in our recipe section.
