New Spice Girl For The Beeb   Anjum Anand is the latest spice girl to challenge to be the successor to Madhur Jaffrey in explaining the mysteries of Indian food to the curry demanding British masses. Many top Indian chefs have tried to persuade BBC that an Indian series would be a good idea but it seems that the good-looking Ms Anand has what the Beeb are looking for to the possible chagrin of others. Anjum Anand grew up in London but has worked across the world in innovative restaurants such as Café Spice in New York, the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles, and the Park Royal Hotel's Indian restaurant in New Delhi. Her real love is delicious and stylish food that is simple enough to cook at home. She challenges fiercely the assertion that Indian food is heavy and difficult to cook and is determined to make "cooking an Indian" as common as rustling up a stir-fry. Anjum has family homes in Delhi and Calcutta and loves the regional and cultural traditions of Indian food with the passion of a real insider. Her new TV series, Indian Food Made Easy, started on BBC2 on Monday, July 9. A book of the same name will accompany the series published by Quadrille on August 3.   Top
