Babur cookbook launch

Babur – one of London’s iconic Indian restaurants – is to shares its culinary legacy with the launch of the debut cookbook Babur: Forty Years of Flavour, with a collection of recipes that have shaped its four-decade journey.

Offering an insight into Babur’s kitchen, the cookbook shares the recipes of more than forty signature dishes. Forty Years of Flavour showcases its range – from the classic to the inventive – with much-loved favourites such as Chettinad Tandoori Wings, Punjabi-style Steamed Lamb Shoulder, Cumin Chocolate Fondant and Babur’s cult classic cocktail: The Currytini.

Inside, readers will find more than just recipes: this is Babur’s legacy, complemented by archival photographs, reflections from its founder, Emdad Rahman, alongside tips and tricks from the longstanding team of chefs, led by Executive Chef Jiwan Lal. 

To celebrate the release of the cookbook, Babur will host a Forty Years of Flavour launch party and five-course tasting menu at £100, with optional wine pairing at £30, on Thursday, 11th December.

Guests will also receive a copy of the book.

Babur: Forty Years of Flavour will be published in hardback on 9th December, at £25.00 RRP. The book is available to pre-order via https://babur.giftpro.co.uk/products/40-years-of-flavour/

Founded in 1985 in Forest Hill, Babur has as a cult status within London’s dining scene, renowned for its inventive approach to regional Indian cuisine, elegant presentation, and genuine hospitality. A restaurant with two AA Rosettes, Babur is a favourite among chefs and critics alike – The Cinnamon Club’s Vivek Singh called it  “southeast London institution” while Jimi Famurewa put Babur on his dream restaurant line-up on the Off Menu podcast.
