Leading Indian Celebrity Chef Jayanandan Bhaskar, is setting out to prove that the humble cheese slice is more than a simple, quick sandwich filling on STAR Plus Middle East’s most popular cooking show – Chesdale Tadka Marke.
On the weekly show, now in its second series, the talented young chef who was runner-up in MasterChef India 2010 competition, prepared 13 family recipes using Chesdale Cheddar Cheese slices including Shimla Aloo Cheese Pakora, Baked Kadai Veg and Cheesy Chicken Tikkie.
“Creating simple and healthy, weekday meals for the whole family can be a real challenge.” says Chef Jayanandan. “Chesdale Cheddar Cheese slices might not be at the top of everyone’s ingredients list, but I would urge people to re-think this as they have a real cheddar cheese taste and can be an appetising and nutritious addition to lots of your family’s favourite meals.”
The final episode of the current series of Chesdale Tadka Marke was shown on Friday 19 August on STAR Plus Middle East, where Chef Jayanandan prepared a baked cheese sandwich alongside a host of other recipes during the 30 minute show.
