Manju Malhi
Indian-born British TV Chef, Award-winning Author & Food Writer
Manju Malhi is the the UK’s leading spice pundit and expert on Anglo-Indian home cooking. As well as her own Simply Indian series aired on the Taste Network in 2001, she has appeared amongst several programmes, on ITV’s Saturday Cooks and This Morning, Channel 5’s Open House and The Terry and Gaby Show, Sky One’s Taste, UKTV Food’s Great Food Live, Food Uncut and Market Kitchen and BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen.

“Manju Malhi won the BBC’s Food and Drink competition in 1999”
Manju Malhi was raised in North West London where she grew up surrounded by Indian culture, traditions and lifestyles. She comes from a non-conformist Asian family. Her parents moved to England in the late sixties at a time when things were tough, not only for the host community but for people who were coming from the Indian sub-continent in search of a better life. Her foray into the TV world has taken her to India for a forty part series entitled Cooking Isn’t Rocket Science for one of India’s leading broadcasters NDTV, preparing British cuisine for India. She writes on Indian food for newspapers and magazines, voice overs and television continuity for BBC1 and BBC2 (her favourite channel) and is the voice of BBC Food.[/expand]
Having spent several years of her childhood in India where she explored and experienced the vast and varied cuisines of the country, Manju Malhi loves hosting cookery theatres around the country promoting the easy ethos of Indian home cooking. Specialising in Anglo-Indian cuisine, she writes on Indian food for newspapers and magazines, voice overs and television continuity for BBC1 and BBC2 (her favourite channel) and is the voice of BBC Food.[/expand]
