I like to see the success of an idea: Karen Anand
Deccan ChronicleWriter-entrepreneur Karen Anand is not just a collector of recipes but a creator of beautiful dishes. I worked for companies like HUL and Britannia, Rafael Salgado, Marico when they were developing foreign products, and I developed recipes to suit their product; for instance, I developed recipes with Britannia cheese, because cheese was still new in the Indian market in the 1990s. Though I also love recipe development because I like to see success. I hadn’t really done a book on Indian food because I have been often credited with bringing European food to India and I did a lot of European food here in India initially in my career because that’s what I knew. But with my three TV shows I did travel a lot and I got to taste some fantastic Indian food throughout the country.
