Join us for a special dinner in Swadish, to explore and celebrate Scotland’s rich and complex relationship with India. Romy Gill and Ajay Kumar are known for shaping our understanding of India’s diverse regional cuisines, and in doing so, stimulating our collective fascination with Indian culture.
Before dinner, Romy and Ajay will discuss the evolution of Indian cuisine in Scotland, shaped by shared history, migration, travel and generations of cultural exchange.
