Airdate: Anjum’s Australian Spice Stories

New foodie series Anjum’s Australian Spice Stories will screen on SBS Food Network.

British-Indian chef Anjum Anand, dubbed the Nigella of Indian cuisine, serves up a 12 part series filmed on the Mornington Peninsula.

For the woman whose must-have cookbook knocked Harry Potter off the top spot of bestsellers, Australia holds a special place in Anjum’s heart. Having spent her honeymoon Down Under, she returns to one of her favourite destinations to cook up a storm from her base in country Victoria. Anjum’s passion for fresh produce sees her meeting with local suppliers and market holders as she shops for spices and ingredients at the Queen Victoria Markets before heading back to the kitchen in her picturesque rural property in the Mornington Peninsula.

Anjum’s Spice Stories is a celebration of the best Australia has to offer, but with a unique Indian twist from ‘the face of Modern Indian cuisine’ herself.

From local delicacies and beautiful landscapes, Anjum explores the wonders of modern Indian cuisine, with an Australian twist, showcasing how healthy, fresh and easy Indian flavours can be.

In fact nourishing food and healthy lifestyle is at the heart of everything Anjum does, having lost up to an astounding 40kgs with her own adaption and interpretation of modern fresh and easy to prepare Indian cuisine. She is here in Australia and ready to share the secrets of her diet that is full of foods that are not only fabulous for the waistline but also taste amazing with their unique blend of Indian inspired spices.

Monday 4 April at 7.30pm on Food Network.
