Book launch: 25 of India’s Biggest Chefs
25 of India’s Biggest Chefs by Dr. Saagarika Ghoshal
I was recently invited to attend the book launch of 25 of India’s Biggest Chefs, a compilation of all-time favourite recipes from the repertoire of India’s top 25 chefs, hosted by METRO Cash & Carry at the Le Méridien Hotel in Bangalore. Authored by Dr. Saagarika Ghoshal, Director of Human Resources at METRO Cash & Carry India, to honour the country’s top chefs, the book chronicles stories of 25 celebrated and award-winning chefs in India, their journey into the culinary world, and some innovative recipes from their kitchens.
The chefs in this book have distinguished themselves by the quality, refinement, and creativity they bring to each dish they serve. METRO’s presentation of the 25 of India’s Biggest Chefs cookbook, is a step towards honouring the creative force that drives the hospitality industry ~ the Chef, and to showcase such talent among food lovers and cooking enthusiasts.
From Chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s Shaam Savera to Chef Kunal Kapur’s Haleem Kebab and Chef Vikas Khanna’s Star Anise and Bay Leaf-Infused Lamb Chops, each curated recipe introduces readers to a new gastronomic journey across a global culinary map. The carefully crafted recipes use readily available ingredients, require little effort, and taste amazing!
On the occasion, Dr. Saagarika Ghoshal also felicitated chefs from across the hospitality industry for their unique creative contributions. The recipients comprised a veritable Who’s Who of India’s best-loved chefs, who have combined their unique cooking methods with classic recipes from global cuisines, to offer authentic flavours in their very own signature styles. Those honoured included chefs Abhijit Saha, Kunal Kapoor, Sabyasachi Gorai, and Vicky Ratnani.
This well-researched cookbook with a focus on flavour-filled and easy-to-follow recipes is a must-have for the foodie soul! Go grab your copy and bask in culinary bliss!

Hi Tanya. Where can I purchase this book?
It’s available on Amazon.
Oh I am so excited, and congratulation are in order for Dr. Saagarika Ghoshal! I quite enjoy reading the content on your blog, Tanya – it deserves big applause!
I’m touched, Swathi. Thank you!
How weird that the number of followers on Instagram has become a defining attribute, somehow displacing and even downplaying other merits of a person which, rationally speaking, have immensely more substance and relevance.
On that note: I love that you curate quality content on your blog, Tanya!
Thank you for such wonderful appreciation, Ashlesha.
What a beautiful kurta and you! ❤️ I can only speak for myself, but I really enjoy reading your well-illustrated content! Kudos on the book launch!
Thank you so much for loving this, Savitha.
Hi Tanya, I just want to say I have so much respect and admiration for you. I look up to you for being so creative, so informative, and so intelligent with your blog posts.
By the way, you look super put together and elegant! And, love that kurta! ❤️
Aw ~ thank you, Nischala. You’ve filled my heart with joy!
Tanya, I can’t even begin to understand how you are able to juggle all these activities and responsibilities day-to-day and still produce amazing work. I love that you have substance and talent outside of just putting on a pretty outfit for the day. ❤️
So happy to hear this! Thank you for your kind words, Aarushi.
In the grand scheme of things, one can’t force inspiration or be inspired or creative all of the time. But you somehow defy that, Tanya! Always such great content! xx
Thank you, Shraddha! You’re very kind.
Amazing outfit, love the colour and print! Sometimes all it takes is fabulous Indian wear to make a statement! ❤️ Also, I am always so excited to sit and read through what you write!
Thank you for such fulsome appreciation, Akshima.
This is such a sophisticated look! Love the crimson shade on you, works so well with your skin tone. Enjoyed reading the whole article, too… 🙂
That’s very kind of you, Vinay. Thank you indeed.
