Author Biography

Harneet Baweja and his wife Devina Seth grew up in Kolkata, and from an early age food played an important role in both their families. They moved to London in 2014 and, finding the city's curry houses lacking in soul, they opened the restaurant Gunpowder with head chef Nirmal Save. Nirmal hails from Mumbai, and learned to cook from his mother and grandmother on their farm. The restaurant has received widespread recognition including raves in the Michelin guide, Bloomberg, Harper's Bazaar, and Time Out.
