Celebrity Chef
Vicky Ratnani launches his first book – 'Vicky goes Veg'
at
The Corner
Courtyard
One of India’s
most renowned chefs – Chef Vicky Ratnani
who recently launched his book in Mumbai with Farhan Akhtar and Mr AP
Hinduja, unveiled his book in Kolkata at The Corner Courtyard.
The book's
inspiration was the increasing demand of “not-so boring vegetarian” recipes
from the audience of his very popular show “Vicky goes Veg”.
Farhan Akhtar at
the launch in Mumbai said ‘Going green has never been more deliciously
exciting! Bon appétit..’
Thrilled to have
the jolly chef launch his book, The Corner Courtyard generously hosted the
event and even served the guests, high tea, appetizers and salads with recipes
from the book itself.
Chef interacted
with the audience and shared trivia and insights on the making of his maiden
read.
Megha Agrawal – Director, The Corner Courtyard, said, “We are deeply humbled that a
celebrity Chef like Chef Vicky chose The Corner Courtyard to launch his first
ever book. Our kitchen is ecstatic to serve and more importantly learn from the
master himself”
Chef Vicky Ratnani “Kolkata is one of my most favourite food
destinations in India. Food being one of the most integral part of Kolkata’s
culture, I have been eagerly looking forward to launch my book in the city.
I am very touched
with the team of The Corner Courtyard for beautifully supporting my launch and
serving my recipes as a part of this special day”
About the book:
Vicky Goes Veg has a collection of
different and out of the box recipes for Vegetarians like Garlic Soup,
Chickpean and Almond Crouquet, Green Chillies and Raw Mango Risotto as well as
the general favourites like Braised Plantain with Thai Spices sharing
space with Hing-roasted Pumpkin, Vegetable Shepherd’s Pie, and so on. The
recipes here are not the usual, mundane ones. The dishes hail from all
over the world but come with an Indian twist.
The recipes mentioned in Vicky Goes veg
are precise and have been rendered even more mouth-watering by the series
of delicious photographs on the side.

About
The Corner Courtyard
Located in the heart
of South Kolkata near the junction of Lansdown and Hazra Road, The Corner
Courtyard recently opened its doors to Customers during the 1st week of October
2013.
The Corner Courtyard
is the brain-child of its founder & CEO, Megha Agarwal, an alumnus of the
prestigious Symbiosis Institute of Pune. It was finally her life-long love for
travelling, hospitality and an unfulfilled entrepreneurial drive that has now
culminated in realizing her dream project, resulting in converting a 108-year-old
building in South Kolkata's Lansdowne area into a Boutique
Hotel-cum-Restaurant, probably the first such restoration project in the
hospitality sector in Kolkata.
Housed in a Colonial
era building that dates back to 1904, TCC aims to capture the aura of a classic
colonial ambience, and provide a semi-fine dining experience, based on a Global
cuisine menu that is designed to stand out from other establishments for its
offering as well as the presentation.
TCC also incorporates
a unique accommodation with seven individually designed and themed boutique
rooms, using 50-100 years old period furniture, which has been painstakingly
restored over a period of over one year by restoration experts.
