Atkar Islam on re-discovering Indian food, cardamom, oven-baked chops and slow food.

Chef Atkar Islam wants you to make Indian food at home, plus in the spice cupboard we look at cardamom, Mary Contini makes oven-baked chops and Donald Reid discusses slow food.

Join Pennie Latin this Wednesday lunchtime when award-winning chef Atkar Islam is on a mission to change people's perceptions of curry. So much more than the 3am takeaway on the way home from the pub, Atkar wants us to think differently about curry so that we view it as a culinary masterpiece. So how can we replicate authentic Indian and Thai curries at home, which spices work the best and how easy is it to make healthy curries?

In the Kitchen Café Spice cupboard this week, food writer Ghillie Basan, talks about An aromatic spice indigenous to south India and Sri Lanka, cardamom. 

From the ultimate fast food to the ultimate in slow food - let The Kitchen Café inspire you to enjoy food at a more than sedate pace of life. Learn how to reconnect with where your food comes from, how and where it's produced and the implications of the choices we make on the environment and our own health. How easy is it to incorporate the philosophy of The Slow Movement into our everyday cooking?

The Kitchen Café Takeaway - Mary Contini makes Breaded Lamb Chops. Recipe and podcast available to download from The Kitchen Café webpage.
