FLAVOUR: A WORLD OF BEAUTIFUL FOOD

If Cooking Like Mummyji was a warm taste of Vicky’s upbringing and Punjabi home cooking, A Year of Cooking Like Mummyji tender morsels of the heritage of other British Asian communities, and A Fair Feast a mezze of delights in humble contribution to those less fortunate, then FLAVOUR is a generous, mouth-watering slice of Vicky’s own unique culinary life and eclectic style.

Walk into your kitchen and open the cupboard doors, chances are you will find bottles of moss green olive oil nestling alongside dark, salty soy sauce; pungent vanilla essence next to scarlet incendiary pots of chilli powder; flaky dried oregano next to piquant malt vinegar.

Borders have been drawn and redrawn throughout history. Perhaps with cooking there are now no borders at all: we can enjoy the tastes of many parts of the world in our own homes very easily, whenever we like.

As Vicky says,
”I think, if you love food, you love food, all types, and I don’t conduct a sort-of culinary passport control, checking the origins of a dish or ingredient or flavour before I can stamp it as approved to sit on my plate.”
