The woman who taught the West how to cook Indian food
A ground-breaking Indian cookery programme broadcast on the 麻豆社, launched 40 years ago. It was presented by the Indian actor turned food writer Madhur Jaffrey.
鈥楳adhur Jaffrey鈥檚 Indian Cookery鈥� was the first mainstream series about Indian food broadcast in the UK and the first to be presented by an Indian. It was also the first to reach a mass audience. The programme was an instant success and made its presenter a household name.
Madhur Jaffrey spoke to Witness history about the programme and why representation matters.
