Catch Kenyan born and internationally renowned chef, Kiran Jethwa on a culinary adventure through Kenya, showcasing all that this wild country has to offer – from its people to food to the Kenyan way of life. Shot against breath taking landscapes, each episode explores the source of one of the unusual ingredients that the country is rich in: Nile perch from Lake Turkana, African wild honey and wild fowl, Swahili prawns, Boran beef, Dorobo lamb, Palm Wine, Mud Crabs from the Northern Coast, to name a few. The show- Tales from the Bush Larder, will premiere only on FOX Life from 29 January, Thursday and Friday 8:00 PM.
Through the show Kiran travels across the stunning wild countryside of Kenya to find interesting ingredients, and in turn meets the vibrant people responsible for procuring them. In one of the episodes, Kiran joins a local fisherman to learn how to fish. Using this he then cooks an interesting dish for his new friends in the bush in a way that they have never had.
To bring out the flavour of the show, Kiran spread his magic at a live cookout at the Pan-Asian restaurant Shiro in Mumbai and Bangalore. He has also launched a special menu to recreate the magic of Kenyan cuisine at Shiro.
An enthusiastic Kiran said “The whole concept of Tales from the Bush Larder is really thrilling and it feels great to be a part of such an amazing show. I am very passionate about food and this show gave me the perfect opportunity to discover so many unexplored places and cuisines in Kenya and the people who make it happen for me to create incredible sumptuous delicacies.”

Devika Pathak, Marketing- Shiro; “Shiro is thrilled to host Kiran and his menu from January 16th onwards for a limited time. Kenyan cuisine is very interesting and we don’t get the chance to experience these flavours in India very often so it is a rare treat. The menu consists of a bao menu followed by a couple of signature mains. Kiran has incorporated the pan-Asian Shiro elements while staying true to his roots, the menu is eclectic and very different from anything you have tried before.”
