Biography


Anjum Anand grew up in London but has also lived and studied in Geneva, Paris, and Madrid.[1][2] She speaks French and Spanish, holds a degree in European business administration from the European Business School London, and for a period 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 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]
