Personal Journey
Hello! I'm AK, the passionate food enthusiast behind Chicken Tikka Recipes. My culinary journey began in my grandmother's kitchen in Mumbai, where I first learned the art of blending spices and creating authentic Indian flavors. After moving to London for culinary school, I discovered my true calling: making Indian cuisine accessible to home cooks worldwide.
Culinary Background
With formal training from Le Cordon Bleu London and specialized courses in Indian cuisine from prestigious institutions in India, I've spent over a decade perfecting the art of Indian cooking. My expertise in chicken tikka recipes has been recognized by various culinary publications and food festivals across Europe and Asia.

Teaching Philosophy
I believe that great cooking comes from understanding not just the 'how' but the 'why' behind each technique. Through this website, I share not only recipes but also the fundamental principles that make Indian cuisine so special. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to create authentic Indian dishes in your own kitchen.
Life Beyond the Kitchen
When I'm not developing recipes or photographing food, you'll find me exploring local farmers' markets, traveling in search of new flavors, or teaching cooking classes in my community. I'm also passionate about sustainable cooking and supporting local food producers.
