He walked in with grace and confidence that captured everyone’s attention
in a heartbeat. The book launch was at Foodhall at Palladium in Lower Parel. The
front row was captured by all the foodies who had followed him for a long time;
they were so star struck that some of them had an almost dreamy expression on
their face.
After a bit of chitchat and a little introduction he went on and told us
that this was his 20th book and that his 21st was
releasing soon. He told us about his first book which was self published and
how he struggled with accent and with pronouncing the ingredients right when he
first came to India to work for MasterChef India.
He then quickly whipped up some mocktails and all this while actively
chatting away with us. He made cooking so interesting and fun that me, who can’t
even make decent Maggi, wanted to start cooking.
This book Shaken & Stirred is a dazzling collection of non-alcoholic
drinks. From delicious teas to refreshing slushies and classic drinks, Vikas
guided the audience on how to create unique and exquisite drinks that would
keep their guests satisfied and have them coming back for more.
“I’m touched by the love & affection that the Foodhall customers gave
me today and this is exactly what keeps my quest for undiscovered flavors. The
versatile recipes in Shaken & Stirred allow you to play with your
imagination, while keeping the pure flavor and wholesome goodness of the
ingredients intact,” said an elated Vikas Khanna.
Trained at the Culinary Institute of America, Vikas Khanna runs the
upscale restaurant Junoon in Manhattan. Having started a catering company at
the age of 17 in Amritsar, he has been regularly featured on various
international television shows such as Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares,
Masterchef Australia and The Martha Stewart Show.
