Cook Live with Vikram Vij

Attention everyone!
I'm about to make a confession.
It is going to be an earth-shattering one so please be prepared.
Here goes:

I.RARELY.COOK.

I know. It's shocking.


Okay. In all seriousness, I know that YOU know that 99% of my blog posts are about eating out at restaurants. But in all honesty, I actually really enjoy cooking. I know it's really hard to believe but I assure you that I'm telling the truth! Whether you believe me or not, it really doesn't matter 'cause I think what I'm about to tell you is pretty cool...especially if you love cooking...like me :p

Chef Vikram Vij, who was born in India and grew up in Amritsar and Bombay, is the owner of the restaurant Vij’s (@Vijs_restaurant) in Vancouver, BC, which was recently named the Best Restaurant in Canada by Vacay.ca. In addition to appearing as a featured guest on Top Chef Canada and on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, Vij has published two award-winning cookbooks and has his own named brand selection of frozen foods.


Cook Live with Vikram Vij

On March 7th, Vikram Vij will host Canada’s first ever live-streamed cooking show, Cook Live with Vikrim Vij, where viewers will get the chance to cook a family meal live with an internationally renowned chef.

How it Works

The ingredients needed will be posted online and will  e available for download from the Vij’s website, www.vijs.ca, during the week of March 4th, and the actual online cook-along will be shown from Cirillo’s Culinary Academy at 6pm EST, 3pm PST, on March 7th 2013. Families are encouraged to “do-as-he-does”, putting together the ingredients at the same time, as Vij talks people through the process of cooking an Indian family recipe together.
