Celebrated culinary expert Chef Ashish Tiwari has launched his much-awaited book “The Culinary Roots”, a unique blend of personal memoir, culinary anthropology, and regional Indian gastronomy. Published by Storymonk International Publishing, the book is now available on Amazon and other major platforms.
More than just a cookbook, “The Culinary Roots” takes readers through Chef Ashish’s inspiring journey from the lively streets of Old Delhi to globally recognised kitchens. The book reflects his growth as a chef while showcasing the discipline, resilience, and consistency that shaped his career over the years.
The book is divided into three sections, each offering a different perspective on food and culture. The first section, The Journey, shares personal moments from Chef Ashish’s life, including his early struggles in kitchens and his rise to leadership roles across international culinary destinations.
The second section, Culinary Anthropology, dives deep into the roots and evolution of Indian cuisine. It explores how geography, migration, culture, and history have influenced the country’s diverse regional dishes and flavours over time.
The final section brings together signature dishes and the stories connected to them, showing how food is closely tied to emotions, memories, and identity. Through these narratives, the book highlights the deeper meaning behind traditional Indian cooking.
Speaking about the launch, Chef Ashish Tiwari said,
“This book is my attempt to go beyond recipes and explore the ‘why’ behind Indian cuisine, why we cook the way we do, and how every dish carries a story of survival, adaptation, and celebration.”
One of the key highlights of the book is its focus on traditional cooking methods like dum and tadka, while also celebrating the cultural stories hidden within everyday meals. By combining professional culinary insights with storytelling, the book offers readers both knowledge and inspiration.
With “The Culinary Roots”, Chef Ashish Tiwari hopes to encourage aspiring chefs, food lovers, and readers to see Indian cuisine not just as food, but as a living history shaped by people, places, traditions, and time.
