Cook it under $1 with chef Shankar Krishnamurthy

Chef Shankar Krishnamurthy’s new pandemic-inspired e-book ‘The $1 Cookbook’ digs into innovation and frugality in home cooking

Last year when the world shut down and we were forced to stay indoors and make do with whatever was available, Hyderabad-based chef Shankar Krishnamurthy realised how important it was for everyone to stay motivated, eat well and make cooking a fun but learning experience. Finally, he came out with an e-book titled The $1 Cookbook - Home Flavours, Simple Holistic Cooking. Chef Shankar had been toying with the idea of a recipe book for long but it was the lockdown that gave him the right perspective. While taste and presentation are his top priorities, he says, “I had to also keep in mind that resources are limited. It could be a dinner for two, or a family dinner, I wanted my recipe book to be simple, easy to understand and most of all ingredients should be easily available.”
