Maharaja Kitchen
Written by our kitchen brigade - chefs, cooks, and the long-serving heads of pastry, tandoor, and grill.
The kitchen brigade at Maharaja of India - chefs, line cooks, and the long-serving heads of pastry, tandoor, and grill at our Charing Cross restaurant. Recipes, technique, and the occasional dispatch from service.
Our writing is a working journal - recipes pulled from the family books, notes on what arrived at the kitchen door this morning, the technique behind a particular braise or a particular bread. We write to share, and we write to remember.
