Brief Description
Come into My Kitchen is an invitation from Ranveer to join him on a journey from the serpentine lanes of Lucknow to the streets of Boston to the sets of MasterChef. No rules or conventions here, just plenty of colour and texture, aroma and flavour, which merge into one beautiful dish after another. Redolent of Ranveer's love for local produce and spices, and enriched by meditations on tastes and cuisines, this book is garnished with his unique, almost playful, approach to cooking, eating and living.
