The Indian Accent Restaurant Cookbook
A landmark cookbook documenting Chef Manish Mehrotra’s contemporary approach to Indian cuisine, photographed by Rohit Chawla. The book brings together Indian Accent’s signature recipes with refined culinary photography that transforms each dish into a distinctive visual composition.

The Indian Accent Restaurant Cookbook captures the culinary philosophy of Chef Manish Mehrotra and the distinctive visual identity of Indian Accent. Built around the restaurant’s path-breaking contemporary Indian menu, the book brings together recipes that combine familiar Indian flavours and memories with global ingredients, techniques and presentation. Rohit Chawla’s photography moves beyond conventional recipe documentation, treating each dish as a carefully composed visual subject. Through controlled light, texture, colour, geometry and negative space, the photographs convey both the precision of the cuisine and the personality of the restaurant. Published under the India Viking imprint of Penguin Random House India in 2016, the book remains an important document of a defining period in contemporary Indian gastronomy.
