Torie True is a food writer, home cook and cookery teacher of Indian food. She has 
learnt her craft over the past 20 years from her travels to India, cooking alongside 
Indian chefs, as well as learning from her husband’s Indian family who are based in 
the UK and Kolkata.
She is passionate about cooking with spices and aims to instil this love and 
enthusiasm in those who attend her popular Indian cooking classes and through 
her first book 'Chilli & Mint: Indian Home Cooking from a British Kitchen', which was 
shortlisted for the 'Gourmand World Cookbook Awards'. She acts as a bridge 
between East and West cuisine, helping the uninitiated to navigate Indian cookery 
and encouraging everyone to bring a little more spice into their diet for flavour, 
health, and happiness. Her second book will be published later this year.
She is a member of the Guild of Food Writers and a Judge for the Guild of Fine Food. 
You can also find her on Instagram @chilliandmint. She lives in London with her 
husband and two daughters
