Chef Vikas Khanna launches new book!

If you have followed Indian MasterChef, you probably know this name very well- Chef Vikas Khanna. The Michelin-star chef Vikas Khanna has joined hands with NFTmetaverse marketplace Akshaya.io to create a non-fungible token of his latest release, “Sacred Foods of India” — a limited-edition book that brings recipes of ‘prasad’ and foods served at various holy places across the country.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are digital assets using which one can trade across products, including online-only assets. An NFT is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain that can be sold or traded.

The physical and NFT versions of the book has been unveiled at an event in Dubai on June 23.

“In these fast-changing times when the world of internet is metamorphosing into the future rapidly, it is important we take the big leap forward. ‘Sacred Foods of India’ is very dear to my heart, and I wish this will be a prized possession for those who are interested in buying or investing in works of passion,” said New York-based Khanna in a statement, as reported by The Indian Express.

Though a first such collaboration for Khanna said he intends to create more augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) assets of his works and creations in the future.

“Considering Chef Vikas Khanna’s popularity and the uniqueness of this book, we expect the NFTs of this work will acquire great eminence as time passes. We are expecting a blockbuster launch of the NFTs on June 23rd in Dubai, and I on behalf of Akshaya.io welcome everyone to experience the future of the internet with this launch,” said Ganesh Raju, CEO, of Akshaya.io.

Vikas has previously authored books such as “Barkat: The Inspiration and the Story Behind One of World’s Largest Food Drives FEED INDIA” (2021), “My First Kitchen” (2017), “UTSAV: A Culinary Epic of Indian Festivals” (2017) and “Indian Harvest: Classic and Contemporary Vegetarian Dishes” (2015).

The chef is known for his food and restaurants. He also joined hands for International Widows Day recently to discuss his mission to help widows live a life full of dignity, empowerment, and color. He addressed the US Congress today on his #MakeWidowsMatter campaign and received strong commitments from the State Department and funders.
