Biography
Anjum Anand grew up in London; however she has also lived and studied in Geneva (where she attended the International School of Geneva), Paris, and Madrid.[1][2] She speaks French and Spanish and holds a degree in European business administration from the European Business School London. For a period, Anand ran a business importing flat-pack furniture from Eastern Europe.[2][3]
Her perspective on adapting healthy meals from a traditionally rich Indian diet came from personal experience of weight problems while growing up. Her diet consists of varied traditional dishes, recreated with wholesome ingredients and limited oil.[4] At age 25, her first book, entitled Indian Every Day: Light Healthy Indian Food, was published.
Anand became a regular guest on UKTV Food's Great Food Live from 2004 to 2007, and appeared in the BBC Two series Indian Food Made Easy broadcast in 2007.[2][5] Her accent and flirtatious manner have led to her being dubbed "the Nigella Lawson of Indian cuisine in Britain".[1]
She has been a regular contributor to The Times Online food pages since 2007. She has acted as consultant chef to Birds Eye brand to develop a range of healthy Indian ready meals.[6] In September 2008, Anand published her third recipe book Anjum's New Indian, followed by a new BBC television series in November.[2]
In mid-2011, she launched the brand The Spice Tailor, which makes Indian sauces. The brand was sold to Premier Foods in October 2022. [7] [8]
Personal life
In addition to England, Anand also owns family homes in both Delhi and Calcutta.[9]
