Chef Anjula Devi is best known for her extensive knowledge of spices and for creating delicious authentic Indian cuisine. 

A respected food writer and author, Anjula started cooking with her father at the age of eight. Anjula travelled on the number 207 bus with her father to Shepherd’s Bush Market where they would buy a selection of spices, fresh fish and Indian vegetables. 

Anjula has created a range of authentic recipes for Manchester United, arguably the biggest football club in the world, where she is a consultant chef.

A Brand Ambassador for TRS Foods, the world’s largest Indian food company, Anjula has also launched her own brand, Route 207, inspired by the bus route she used to take. 

Anjula has created two recipe books: Authentic Indian Food, in association with Lakeland, and Spice for Life which is being sold in the UK and with translated versions in the Netherlands and Germany.
