The Original Spice Girl

"You have to taste a culture to understand it." - Deborah Cater

Madhur Jaffrey, a passionate culinary expert and food icon, has introduced millions to the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine, opening doors to Indian culture itself. This International Women's Day, we celebrate her for paving the way for individuals and small businesses like ours to make world cultures accessible and delicious.

Back in the 1970s, when Indian food was a mystery to many outside the subcontinent, Jaffrey's book "An Invitation to Indian Cooking" broke barriers, making Indian flavors and techniques understandable to Western readers. Her TV shows further demystified Indian food, fostering appreciation and understanding.

Beyond promoting Indian cuisine, Jaffrey champions vegetarianism and healthy eating, showcasing flavorful plant-based dishes worldwide. Her legacy inspires chefs and home cooks to explore India's culinary heritage and embrace global flavors.

If you appreciate what Julia Child did for French cuisine, Madhur Jaffrey stands as the "OG" living legend who made the world fall in love with Indian food and culture. And for that, we salute her. 🫡
