Gorgeous Shilpa can be seen at the launch of Shilpa’s Gourmet Creations at Tiffinbites, St Paul, London.

Shilpa was known as “Shilpa Poppadom” by Big Bother house and Jade Goody. The winner of Big Brother, Shilpa has launched ready made gourmet meals for UK market. Shetty acquired 33% stake in V8 Gourmet Group. This has become possible by the help of  Raj Kundra. She said, “I feel proud to be associated with the V8 Group. They have carved a niche for themselves in the Indian food industry in the last 13 years, and spell consistency, quality and authentic Indian food. I know that our partnership will grow and envisage a great future with a whole new line of products and restaurants all over Europe, Dubai and Jordan.”

Shilpa has been a spicy girl in Bollywood. UK people will get an opportunity to taste the spicy meal prepared by Shilpa. This is available after “Shilpa’s Gourmet Creations” with the help of master chef Andy Verma. This would offer these residents to taste an Indian flavor like low fat chutneys, pickles and spices. Apart from this, V8 Gourmet will also offer lamb, fish, chicken and vegetable dishes.

Talking about Poppadoms inclusion in this range, Shilpa humorously replied, “Poppadoms do show we have a sense of humour, we intend on giving them out for free. I do hope they are not called Shilpa’s Poppadoms.”

As per Arjun Verma, managing director of V8 Gourmet Group, “In January 2009, we acquired the business of Gourmet Restaurant Group which comprises of Tiffinbites, The Bombay Bicycle Club Kitchens and Vama. This provides the group with an excellent platform towards its growth aspirations and gives V8 a clear lead in the Indian food sector.

“Shilpa shares a genuine passion for fine Indian cuisine and is a perfect ambassador for V8 whilst Raj brings a wealth of international business expertise which will help us to achieve our ambitious growth plans in the UK and overseas.”
