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.

Your cooking experience with Vij will also be interactive! Viewers can log on to the live stream by visiting the Vij’s website at www.vijs.ca and they can tweet Vij live with questions or comments on how their meals are coming along by using the hashtag #Vijcooklive.
