Acknowledgements

I would like to express my great appreciation to some of my food heros: Jaswinder Singh Teja (Oberoi Hotels) and the late Pankaj Mehra (Indian Master Chef, Oberoi Hotels). Their work has inspired me over many years and they have been instrumental in building my perception of curries across the globe. I would like to also offer my special thanks to my team of chefs at Kutir and Manthan, who have been very supportive during the journey of my second book, Yatra.

Special thanks go to my publisher Fiona Robertson, commissioning editor Ella Chappell, project editor Emily Preece-Morrison, photographer Gareth Morgans, food stylist Jennifer Joyce, prop stylist Julie Patmore, head of design Karen Smith and all the team members of Watkins Publishing, who have been hugely supportive in the delivery of this book.
