MUMBAI: In Gordon?s Great Escape on Zee Cafe on 15 August 2010 at 8 pm we see Gordon Ramsay leave his hectic professional life behind him as he embarks on a pilgrimage for fresh flavors.

Gordon Ramsay loves curry but knows little about real Indian cuisine so in the first series of Gordon?s Great Escape he sets off to India for the first time to discover a whole new culinary world. Exploring what is, for him, virgin culinary territory, Gordon embarks on an amazing gastronomic quest as he experiences the stunning diversity of India ?s culinary traditions, submerging himself in all aspects of Indian culture, no matter how challenging, unfamiliar or extreme.

Gordon learns to cook a range of authentic Indian dishes that are specific to each region he visits, and meets some fascinating food mentors along the way. He takes part in physically challenging food-related pursuits and learns new cooking skills, cooking for over 1000 guests at a wedding in Lucknow and learning a complex biryani ? involving eggs stuffed into quails, inside chickens all stuffed inside a goat ? from legendary chef, Imtiaz Qureshi.
