Biting Off More Than I Can Chew is the unapologetically honest, sharply funny memoir of one of India's original culinary rebels. Long before celebrity chefs were a thing, Akerkar was feeding Mumbai's curious and cool bold, ingredient-driven cooking, with warm, no-nonsense hospitality. From the launch of his first catering company in his mum's kitchen to building India's first truly global restaurant, Indigo, which made it to the World's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2007, and his eventual departure from it, this book captures the madness, magic and misfires of a life spent chasing flavour. Expect celebrity dinners, mafia diners, missed opportunities, wild comebacks and the kind of behind-the-pass stories that rarely make it to print. Whether you're a foodie, a dreamer, or just someone who's ever wondered what it's like to really run a restaurant, this is your backstage pass.
