Award-winning chef, Vikram Vij, has announced he will be hosting Western Canada’s first ever live-streamed online cooking show on Thursday June 6th, 2013 live from Vij’s Kitchen at UBC.
Following up on his wildly successful live online cook-along in Toronto, viewers on the west coast will now get the chance to follow along live at dinner time too.
All ingredients will be posted online in advance on Vij’s website, www.vijs.ca during the week of June 3rd, as well as in mainstream media, so you can buy and prepare your ingredients ahead of time and be ready to cook along live at 6pm PST on June 6th.
As well, viewers will be able to engage with Vikram live by tweeting him questions and receiving instant feedback and advice from Vikram himself to help them prepare a wonderful family curry.
Viewers will be able to log on to the live stream by visiting the Vij’s website at www.vijs.ca. To interact with Vikram, they can Tweet questions or comments by using the hashtag #Vijcooklive.
Cook Live With Vikram Vij provides Canadian families the opportunity to cook along with an award-winning chef, whose flagship restauarant, Vij’s, was named by New York Times as “among the finest Indian restaurants in the world.”
“Eating together as a family is such an enriching experience,” says Vij, “I want to encourage families to cook together as well – and if I can spread the word of Indian cuisine at the same time, then I’m proud to do that.”
