Chef Davinder Kumar Launches Romance of the Indian Curry
The capital witnessed an extraordinary celebration of flavours and traditions at the launch of Romance of the Indian Curry, authored by celebrated chef Davinder Kumar, Vice President – F&B, Le Méridien New Delhi, and President of the Indian Culinary Forum. The event, hosted at Le Méridien New Delhi in association with Shubhi Publications, brought together stalwarts from gastronomy, hospitality, and culture.
The evening’s highlight was the unveiling of the book by Amitabh Kant, former CEO of NITI Aayog and India’s G20 Sherpa, alongside Chef Davinder Kumar.

Sharing his inspiration, Chef Kumar noted, “This book honours India’s culinary traditions and is a tribute to our diverse flavours. It is also an invitation for the next generation of chefs to innovate while carrying our heritage forward.”
