Description
Indian flavours have finally entered weeknight rotation.
We all love the flavours of Indian food, but why aren't they as common in our cooking as soy sauce and tomato paste?
Welcome to Everything is Indian, a joyous and delicious journey where Justin Narayan invites you to take his family recipes and do what you want with them. There are no rules, as long as it tastes great.
Drawing on his Fijian-Indian heritage and his multicultural upbringing, Justin shares over 90 recipes that are familiar, exciting and above all easy.
We're talking roast potatoes taken to the next level with masala flavours, MasterChef-certified chicken curry tacos, the best pizza you could ever make at home and an insane cardamom-hit caramel slice.
Leftover chicken curry now belongs on the best pizza recipe you could ever make at home, and your scrambled eggs is about to meet chilli and masala.
Recipes include how-tos and time-saving hacks so you can get the maximum deliciousness out of your time in the kitchen.
In a gorgeous hardback package with fun, lively photography and a modern accessible feel.
It's the authentic flavours we crave, given new life. Think of it as a rebrand - but this time, it's from someone on the inside.

It's a lovely book. I enjoyed reading about his cultural background in Australia. It gives him a unique perspective. To that end, I love the recipes that blend Australiana with his heritage - Roslyn Grundy - editor of Good Food for The Age and Sydney Morning HeraldMore details

Justin Narayan's Fijian-Indian heritage has shaped his passion for creating beautiful food and community around the table. While he grew up watching cooking shows on TV and admires Gaggan Anand and Gordon Ramsay, really it's his mum, Sunita, who is hands down the best cook he knows. He learned from her and his grandparents from age 13, and mealtimes with his family are among his favourite memories.
Justin won Australian MasterChef 2021, a journey which helped hone his skills and knowledge along with his love of marrying Indian flavours to modern cooking methods. He is now making his food his career including cooking classes, takeaway tacos and upcoming restaurant ventures.
