  • “One of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had was at his restaurant, and I reckon he’s one of the best chefs this country has produced. Once you read this book and see what goes into his wonderful recipes, I’m sure you’ll agree with me.”

    Heston Blumenthal

  • “Too many chiefs only one Indian is a spectacular book that vibrates with the passion and energy of its author. In the book Sat Bains mentions that at the time Marco Pierre White's book 'White Heat' blew him away. Sat Bains' book did the same to me.”
