Sonam Kapoor launches Chef Vikas Khanna’s book at Cannes !

Sonam Kapoor who is soon to make her first red carpet appearance at the 68th Cannes Film Festival, will also launch 4 times Michelin starred Chef Vikas Khanna ‘s most awaited book - Utsav - A Culinary Epic.

While India’s Chef Vikas Khanna will be the first chef to walk the red carpet at the festival, the book penned by him is the most costliest cookbook and weighs over 15 kilos.

While the book will have a formal launch in India by PM Narendra Modi, the team approached international fashion icon Sonam Kapoor to first launch the book at the French Riviera ,given her immense popularity and the fact that the international media has always taken keen interest in Sonam’s journey at Cannes.

Says a source, “ Since Utsav is a tribute to India’s rich culture , chef Vikas Khanna was keen to have Sonam launch the book at the 68th Cannes Film festival as she represents all that is Indian on the global front . Sonam has always been the most celebrated Indian personality at the Cannes Festival , with every red carpet appearance driving the press into a frenzy. Post her first red carpet appearance, Sonam will take time out to launch Khanna’s cookbook”.

Vikas Khanna Quote: Sonam Kapoor is an avid follower of indian culture and cuisine and its a pleasure to have her join in the world premiere of Utsav.
