Beyond Brilliant: Inspired Indian Cooking

Product Information

On Four also includes Super Suites that can be fully customised by an interior designer to reflect an individual’s or brand’s values, and Super Loges, that offer the intimacy of a private dining experience and the atmosphere of a restaurant and bar. Award-winning Williams and Anand join the illustrious Roux family and Chris Galvin in bringing their celebrated cuisine to the prestigious On Four lounges and suites at the venue as the Club aims to redefine the premium experience within football. One thing you can really tell from the book is that the whole Brilliant business is a family business and that family means a great deal to them, which I think its excellent! There is then a final section on the Brilliant Wedding, giving a bit of information on the wedding as well as Dipna’s Involvement in it. I really think these bits of information really add to the recipes of the book as it helps you understand where the passion comes from, passion to me is very important when it comes to food and cooking. Its obvious that Dipna and the entire Brilliant family have a to of love for what they do and passion for Indian food.

I do love Indian food, there are always so many different levels of flavour that just makes it so tasty. Bryn, who will design and prepare the entire On Four menu and oversee the service delivery at a range of our matches next season, said: “It’s incredibly exciting to bring my signature dishes and Britain’s finest produce to the Club’s new stadium. Its in this section that you learn a bit about basic preparation, how to make a green chilli paste, different ways of cutting/chopping an onion and then toasting and crushing spices.

The Players' Table experience where guests can dine alongside legendary former Tottenham Hotspur players

Like in any career path, it’s not just a straight road. Hospitality and catering is a tough yet very rewarding career path. I just wish I had been told and trained from a very young age as to why it’s so important to manage finances and also understanding finance and how its crucial for your future goals. I could have by now made many more valuable investments that way. At one match, guests On Four might be eating the finest European cuisine courtesy of the Roux family, Chris or Bryn, and the next they will sample my taste of Asia – there is a great variety on offer.” Williams and Anand join the Roux family and Chris Galvin in bringing their acclaimed cuisine to On Four – premium suites and lounges located on Level four of the stadium. To mark the announcement, new CGI images of the premium areas in the new stadium have been released, showcasing the exceptional surroundings guests will experience when the stadium opens in August 2018.

Recipes

Being born and brought up in a family of chefs and restaurateurs and of course always being surrounded by so much food could only mean one thing right! At school I was never very academic and more of a vocational skilled type of student. My A* grades were always in sports and food technology so I knew towards the end of school where life was leading me and where my true passion was. I was destined to follow in my grandfathers and father’s footsteps and have no regrets whatsoever. Dipna has put a lot of focus on offering healthy options, helping to get rid of the myth that Indian food has to be unhealthy as it really doesn’t. Not only do they bring great culinary expertise and experience, they also offer unrivalled variety for guests On Four to enjoy. Saying no to a restaurant opportunity in India and saying no to being a judge on MasterChef India​ as my diary at those times did not allow me to pursue the opportunities.

The worry of how costs and how they are having such a significant impact on the hospitality and catering industry. The cost of living will continue to challenge us all and staff skill shortages in the catering industry continue to make it a struggle - all these things are worrying, and we need to all plan ahead and make the right decisions based on what’s coming. Despite this we also somehow need to stay positive which is not always easy. The book features a nice mixture of recipes ranging from starters, mains, sides and desserts. I love the fact that it features desserts as I personally haven’t seen many recipes for Indian desserts so it would be nice to try and make some. I had some Indian Desserts when I went in 2014 and they are very nice! In addition to the dining options available, guests will enjoy money-can’t-buy experiences such as the exclusive presentation of the Man of the Match award after each game and the chance to meet and talk to the nominated player. Meanwhile, members’ favourite wines, cognacs and liquors can be stored in a glass-fronted, temperature-controlled display vault throughout the season. The H Club, an exclusive Members’ Club located On Four, will offer a range of Michelin star calibre dining experiences, including a Chef’s Table and Players' Table where you can dine with Club legends. Later in the book there is a section on the Brilliant family where Dipna writes about her mother and her brother. Its interesting to read that her mother didn’t know how to cook but with time and practice she now cooks and even says she could teach her husband a few things. Dipna’s brother has been in the restaurant for 10 years as well as working hard in the restaurant he is working on finding new new clients and bringing in new business.

Below are a handful of Dipna's authentic recipes for you to try for yourself. Each recipe has an ingredients list and method and has been made simple and straightforward to follow so get cooking and enjoy!

Club finalises unprecedented collection of internationally acclaimed chefs as part of premium offering at the new stadium, with Bryn Williams and Dipna Anand the final additions. I have never really tried to make any Indian myself, I was always a bit scared to do a curry as I thought they would be very complicated with the wide variety of spices. As I don’t have any other Indian Cookbooks, I thought id buy it and try a few of the recipes myself. After interviewing Dipna Anand, I learnt that she had published Beyond Brilliant. A great book that features over 40 recipes from the actual kitchens of The Brilliant Restaurant.
