Olly’s Kitchen - Edición Española

Nuestra traductora (y amiga!) Veronica habla de la versión en español de ‪#‎ollyskitchen‬ en este vídeo.

Through my career, I was lucky enough to design flavours for companies throughout the world. One of my primary markets was Latin America and I have very fond memories of the friends I made there. I love the region and I think that certainly had an influence on my son Avik whilst growing up who eventually married a girl from Colombia!

With the book, we want to share the beauty of our Indian culture with the people of the Spanish speaking world.

Easy to follow Indian recipes

I can honestly say that writing the book with my son, Avik, was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Whilst he always enjoyed Indian food, he had never shown that much of an interest in cooking until we started the project. He tested every single recipe and prepared all of the dishes that appear in the photographs of the book. Here is a short video, where Avik explains how easy it was to follow the recipes and the delight he got from preparing great Indian food at home.

No Kindle? No Problem!

I am not the most tech savvy of people and at 74 years old, I have to admit, I got a little confused when trying to read my eBook on my iPad. I am a Kindle owner but also wanted to be able to read not only my eBook, but also my other Kindle purchases on my iPad. Enter the Kindle app!

The folks at Amazon have put together these superb video tutorials so that you can link together your purchases from your amazon account with your mobile devices such as your iPad or your iPhone using the Kindle app. That's right, you can enjoy the content from "Olly's Kitchen: Volume One" on your mobile devices, so no need for a Kindle! We have seen that this has been an issue for a few of you when trying to buy the book, so hopefully this tutorial is helpful

Paneer dishes

Chana, as it is called in Bengali, is commonly known as Paneer. It is a kind of cheese that is used in sweet and savoury dishes.

I wanted to show you some photos from the book to get you inspired. The reason we included the recipe for making Paneer in the free starter pack was that you can make some delicious dishes with it. Have a look at the photos and let us know how you get on!

How to make Paneer - VIDEO

In the free starter pack, we teach you a free tricks to make some key ingredients at home in case you don't have an Indian supermarket in your neighbourhood. 

My vision is to make Indian cooking accessible to people from all levels of society in all corners of the world and to share the secrets of the delicious cuisine from my native India. Staying true to that vision, I have sent my son Avik around the world to record videos of people from around the world cooking recipes from our eBook of Indian Recipes.

In the first video of the series, Avik traveled to Geneva, Switzerland where Tim from the US and Stefania from Italy made Paneer at home following my recipe! Paneer is the key ingredient in dishes like Matar Paneer, Chanar Dalna and Sandesh!

Enjoy the film!
