A flambé of flavours

By F&HE contributor, Jenny Handley

Celebrity chef Reza Mahammad delighted Le Creuset media and foodie guests at Silwood Kitchen in Cape Town recently with his flamboyant style and encyclopaedic knowledge of Indian food and spices. He has a voracious appetite for fun and humour and a natural talent for feeding invaluable information to his audience. I wrote copious notes (illegible as I was laughing so much), and we devoured many sublime dishes from his new book, Reza’s Indian Spice. My favourites were the marinated smoked salmon with yoghurt, herbs and spices, the stuffed baked aubergines and his white chocolate, cardamom and rose panna cotta.
