  • Vikas Khanna stops by the Googleplex for an interview with Chef Irfan Dama of Google's Baadal Cafe.
    In the realm of travel and culinary enthusiasts, few ventures are more sought-after than the exotic culinary vacation. Food aficionados are leaving the comfort of their own kitchens to travel the globe and cook alongside expert chefs, learning the best techniques in wine pairing, dish preparation, spice selection, and the secrets of indigenous ingredients.
    For those who are unable to take several weeks off to discover the wonders of international cuisines, Return to the Rivers brings the culinary expedition to you. Take a gastronomic tour with Vikas Khanna, award winning Michelin-starred Indian chef, restaurateur, filmmaker, humanitarian and the host of the TV show MasterChef India. Both a cookbook and a travelogue, Khanna's newest book takes us on a pilgrimage across the Himalayas as he delves into the culture and tradition surrounding these sacred foodways-everything from finding local ingredients to serving this magnificent food.
    Return to the Rivers boasts nearly 500 pages, and 100 full-color photographs of plated dishes, exotic travel experiences, and personal and thoughtful musings that preserve the traditions, values and simple gifts that the Himalayan people bestowed upon Khanna.
    Khanna's spiritual and culinary journey through the Himalayan heartland brings foodies and travel enthusiasts some of the best recipes and culture from Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, northern India, western China and Pakistan.
    About the Author: Vikas Khanna opened his own catering company at the age of seventeen and has thrived in the culinary world ever since. He has worked his way up to become one of New York City's top-rated chefs with his work at Salaam Bombay, The Café at the Rubin Museum, and the Michelin-starred Junoon. He is equally recognized for his work in humanitarian efforts with sakiv, New York Chefs Cooking for Life, his documentary film series, Holy Kitchens, and as the host of MasterChef India. In recent years, he has become recognized for his appearances on The Martha Stewart Show, Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, and Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Khanna now resides in New York City.

    I never thought that I had time to watch 1 hour interview of a person who I didn't know existed until today. Hats-off Vikas Khanna. Your answers are coming from the heart, you are an inspiration to millions.

      Exactly Srini Velmi. I had heard of Vikas Khanna but never watched even one video of him (even his cooking shows). I came across him today in CZcams suggestions and as I watched the first interview, I was so pleasantly surprised that I have been watching interviews of him one after another and landed here finally. He appears very simple and pure. He smiles and laughs so heartily that is so calming.

    So mesmerizing to watch him talk....time went so fast and the video ended. I could have watched Chef Vikas talk about all his beautiful stories and experiences for many more hours. Truly a delight listening him. He is truly a great human and a great inspiration. Lots of Love and Regards to Chef. May GOD bless you always!!!!!

    If there was someone who coined or created the word, "bragging" or "brag", he would've died today.
    When asked how did you invited Dalai Lama to write the foreword, anyone could have said, you see I am Vikas Khanna, I can buy him to write that, but listen to what he says instead, Destiny.
    Such a humble gem Vikas is.
    A wonderful 58 minutes and 23 seconds!
