Although Indian food has a rich and complicated history, the secret to making it is very simple. At The Host, this is a secret learned from their mother, the greatest chef they know and the inspiration for everything they do. In her kitchen, they learned that the best food is always created with love. And love demands that you make no compromises or take shortcuts.
