Beyond Brilliant: Inspired Indian Cooking

Product Information

Now, thanks to Dipna's expert guidance, the Brilliant's food has been brought into the 21st century, with a strong emphasis on healthy ingredients and low-fat techniques. Easy to follow, food products easily available and we have now cooked loads of the individual recipes.

Dipna showcases her secret family recipes created by her grandfather Beyond Brilliant which includes authentic Punjabi recipes from the kitchens of her restaurant as well as a few of her own unique and creative recipes. I have never really tried to make any Indian myself, I was always a bit scared to do a curry as I thought they would be very complicated with the wide variety of spices. This book is so useful I have since booked to attend 3 of the restaurant's cookery courses, where the author, Dipna Anand, and her father guide everyone through your the menu and you pick up even more tips whilst getting a chance to cook your own food in the restaurant's tandoor oven. She's a woman on a mission - a mission to prove that Indian food can be tasty and good for you at the same time.

I recently purchased my second book and posted it to him as he has been enjoying developing his repertoire.

When I got a chance to meet and chat with Dipna Anand for her new book “Beyond Brilliant: Inspired Indian Cooking” is really big opportunity for me.It's instructions are easy to follow, ingredients lists not vast and intimidating and it's beautiful to look at and a pleasure to read! I do love Indian food, there are always so many different levels of flavour that just makes it so tasty. Specially I love the flavor of vinegar and pomegranate seeds both gives interesting twist which influence me a lot to try this dish for my love ones.

The recipes are easy to follow with the spices grouped together and I love all the illustrations and the story behind the wonderful Anand family.There is then a section on the Brilliant Restaurant where you can read about Dipna’s farther Gulu Anand and the restaurants head chef Jasvinderjit Singh. Onion Bhajis are very popular especially in North Punjab region and most favorite appetizer in my family too, that’s the main reason I choose this item.
