Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape
● Gordon Ramsay
Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay
travelled through India for the
first season of The Great Escape.
This book presents 100 of the
best recipes Ramsay encountered,
from meat and poultry to
chutneys and sweets. The photographs

Sukham Ayu
● Pratibha Jain & Jigyasa Giri
Ayurveda lays out the principles
of not just healing, but also
healthy living. Sukham Ayu presents
these principles and then
helps you incorporate them in
your everyday cooking. There
are helpful charts and a questionnaire
which help you identify
your body type — vata dosha,
pitta dosha and kapha dosha —
which determines which food is
ideal for you. The book then gets
down to presenting recipes,
which are simple and yet turn
out great results.

How To Eat: The Pleasures And Principles Of Good Food
● Nigella Lawson
Like its title suggests, Nigella
Lawson’s book focuses on the
joy of eating food at home. Accordingly,
the recipes are organised
in sections keeping in mind
the foodie — basics, fast food,
weekend lunch, dinner, feeding
children and small babies, etc.
Written in a chatty informal style
the book is full of personal anecdotes
and handy tips, such as
this simple technique to separate
eggs by, well, holding the
yolk in your palm as the whites
slip through the fingers.

link milk consumption to the rise
of civilisation. Then there’s milk
in the religious context — the Romans
believed that milk linked
man to the bestial world. However,
contemporary issues related
to milk have been simply been
skimmed over
