During his relatively young career, London Chef Will Bowlby has accumulated a wealth of experience in Indian cuisine. After culinary school and training in the UK, he served as head chef at Cheval in Mumbai, before travelling around India on a food tour for six months. After this, he returned to the UK and worked under Vivek Singh at The Cinnamon Kitchen. 

In April 2015, he brought his vision to his own 20 seat pop-up restaurant that just happened to be housed in a shipping container. Two years later, he opened Kricket Soho which has grown now to three locations. Bowlby serves up seasonal, modern Indian plates and drinks that combine British ingredients with the flavours, aromas and spices of India. 

Kricket: An Indian-inspired Cookbook is the debut cookbook from the talented chef that shares recipes that prove that Indian cuisine needn't be daunting. He promises if we learn the basics, the possibilities are endless.
 

The majority of the recipes are ideal for weekend meals and entertaining. Ingredients shouldn't be difficult to procure, and the dishes are overall very approachable. These are Indian-inspired recipes and not for a purist looking for strictly "authentic" Indian classics. This is the type of book I love - exciting takes on a cuisine that paints a picture more of the chef's personality than reinventing classics. We have Madhur for the classics, we can look to Bowlby for inspired dishes that pay homage to Indian flavours.
