Publisher's Synopsis
Indigo is the brainchild of the husband and wife team of Rahul and Malini Akerkar. Minimalist restraint and fine detailing maintain a taut balance between stark walls, sandstone flooring, simple polished teak furniture and a few brightly-coloured frescoed surfaces. Everything is designed to make sure that the food is the star of the show. The ingredients are seasonal and very fresh, and the creative fare is balanced by one of the best wine lists in the country. Rahul's experiments with Euro-Indian cuisine and Malini's attention to superlative hospitality continue to earn Indigo an ever-increasing loyal clientele of foodies from India and around the world. "The Indigo Cookbook" is a look inside this simple, understated restaurant nestled in an old colonial bungalow on a quiet street in downtown Mumbai, India. It is a story of its creation, its evolution, its philosophy, its hospitality, its people and above all, its food. The book provides an insight into what drives maverick chef, Rahul Akerkar's eclectic cuisine, and is the first compilation of his whimsical creations.
