Mira Manek is the face of Indian healthy food and wellbeing. She is based in London and the author of cookbook Saffron Soul, in which she gives Indian food a fresh facelift, accenting traditional recipes passed down from her mother and grandmother with a contemporary twist. Mira runs wellness events and supperclubs in London, works with restaurants such as Holborn Dining Rooms on menus, has her own chai brand and is now also doing a theatre show – cooking and chatting with her grandmother this October at Tara Arts.

Through dishes such as beetroot coconut curry, masala grilled aubergine and saffron lime cheesecake as well as a range of easy detox waters, Mira is all about making Indian spices and seasonings more accessible to all and to everyday life.
