The BiBi Cookbook
Hardback
Recipes from my BiBi
Chet Sharma, one of Britain's most exciting and admired culinary voices, began his career as an academic before working as a development chef for many of the world's best restaurants, from Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain, to Moor Hall in West Lancashire in the north of England. When the time came to open his own restaurant, his heritage and background provided the inspiration for BiBi, the name being a term used affectionately throughout India to mean grandmother.
Yet his food is much more than an homage to authentic Indian cuisine. 'Our food doesn't necessarily look Indian on the plate,' Chet says. 'It's modern and progressive, but if an Indian grandmother walked into the dining room and tasted a dish, she would still understand its roots.' Indian subcontinent and the personalities and dishes of his heritage.BiBi, Sharma's much anticipated debut cookbook, combines recipes for 60 of his exquisitely detailed signature dishes interspersed with a series of personal essays that explore his memories of the Indian subcontinent and the personalities and dishes of his heritage.Buy now!

Dr Chetan Sharma is chef-patron at BiBi in Mayfair. A second generation British Asian with Indian, Pakistani, and Kenyan roots, the time spent in the Indian subcontinent with his grandmothers fuelled Chet s love of food and cooking. He studied Chemistry and Physics at UCL, alongside pursuing stages in some of the world s finest restaurants. After completing his PhD at Oxford, he finally swapped academia for culinary development roles, before joining forces with the JKS group (which includes such restaurants as Gymkhana, Lyles, BAO, and Sabor) to open BiBi, his much-loved restaurant in Mayfair, London.
