It's hard not to imagine ingredients coming out of skull-shaped boxes or a growling chef banging bowls, when you hear the words Headbanger's Kitchen.

But the Demonstealer's version of a cookery show is nothing like that. It's bright. It's clean. It's where the award-winning Metal musician has been rustling up dishes for the past four years. This March onwards, fans of Demonstealer's music and cooking get a sneak peek into the kitchen through webisodes of the Headbanger's Kitchen.

The series is split into two sections: Demonic Cookery and the Band Interview. In the first half of the show, Demonstealer aka Sahil Makhija, vocalist/guitarist with the band Demonic Ressurection, demonstrates his cooking skills. In the latter half he invites Metal bands for a taste and an informal interview.

The first episode saw the Dubai-based Nerve Cell dig into Beef Burgers and Rustic Potatoes. The idea for the webcast came from Demonstealer's food blogs called Demonic Cookery on Facebook. He had blogged about 22 dishes since 2007 and the fan response was encouraging.u00a0"Some of the stuff I make is on the fly, while I look up some recipes online, and then do my own version of it," says Sahil, who once seriously considered donning a professional chef's hat.
