Sanjeev Kapoor, India's favourite celebrity chef is out with a new cookbook that is targetted at a peculiar audience: married couples



What led to the making of this book?
I have been married for 18 years, and understand the role of good food in a happy marriage. Alyona and I cook together. And we do it pretty often, hence the bonding. Food is the universal language of love, and every meal we have prepared together has created fond memories. What is life, but a collection of memories! That was my inspiration to write the book.

Why were the recipes chosen as befitting newly weds?
I wanted to come up with recipes that could impress a new partner! And they had to be simple to cook. Many couples who start their own home, struggle with cooking. The idea was to give them a combination of simple recipes with great presentation ideas.

A special annexure has been given for basic recipes of chutneys, stocks and sauces used throughout the book. The book ends with an English-Hindi glossary of ingredients.
