Atul Kocchar?

smart

I was watching that show Million Pound Menu on Netflix and Atul is one of the judges/investors on the show. That’s how I know.

I actually have eaten at Tamarind many years ago but didn’t know anything about Atul then.

Indian food had remained unrecognized by Michelin for a long time until 2001 when Atul Kochhar received one during his tenure as head chef at Tamarind in Mayfair, London. He topped that with another Michelin star in 2007 for his highly acclaimed Benares Restaurant & Bar in Mayfair. Kochhar went ahead to open several other popular restaurants around the world, including Ananda in Dublin, Rang Mahal in Dubai, Benares Madrid in the Spanish city, and NRI and LIMA restaurants in Mumbai, and has even cooked for Prince Charles at St James’s Palace. The 47-year-old chef, who was born in Jamshedpur and studied hotel management in Chennai, is known for his unique fusion of Indian flavors in modern British food.

Since then 4 other chefs have won it, taking the total to 5 so far.

Hint: It was back in 2001. Guy was very popular in cooking circles back then and is associated with one of the most popular Indian restaurants in London

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
