S6 Ep10: Bookshelfie: Ravinder Bhogal
From home cook to food journalist and eventually chef and restaurateur, Ravinder Bhogal reflects on her own experiences as an immigrant in London and how it influenced a ‘no borders’ kitchen in her own restaurant.
Ravinder is a journalist, cook and owner of the incredible Jikoni restaurant in Marylebone, in west London. She started her career as a beauty writer for More magazine in the early noughties before a TV cooking competition completely changed her life. Ravinder beat off nine thousand other budding chefs to be crowned “The New Fanny Craddock” on Gordon Ramsay’s The F Word in 2007. It catapulted her to fame, including an award-winning cookbook and a number of TV appearances alongside the likes of Ramsay and Jay Rainer, as well as her own series. Her new book Comfort and Joy is out now.
Ravinder’s book choices are:
The Awakening by Kate Chopin
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
How to Eat by Nigella Lawson
Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in her Head by Warsan Shire
The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season six of the Women’s Prize for Fiction Podcast.
