Open invitation to all shoppers and fans of the show, Sahil will be dishing out some of his favourite recipes. "I will be whipping my signature dish Bacon Bomb and Chicken Burgers. There will also be Egg Quiche and Paneer Piccata for the vegetarians," says Sahil, who will invite members from the audience to come and sample some of his cooking and also participate in the interactive show.
"True to the format of the show, where I invite other bands to come and have a biteu00a0-- I've invited members of Bahayank Maut, Goddess Gagged and Albatross to come as well. Let's see who turns up.
