Happy Birthday Alpana Habib!
Today marks the 53rd birthday of celebrated chef Alpana Habib. Her bilingual cook book, ‘Alpana’s Cooking’ recently won an award in the First Book category at the prestigious Gourmand International Cookbook Awards.
“Renowned chef, TV personality and author, Siddiqua Kabir’s Ranna, Khadya, Pushti won the Gourmand Award in 2012, the year that she passed away, in the Easy Cooking category. Sharing the same honour is an achievement in itself,” mentioned Alpana. “The founder of Gourmand International told us that they did not take Bangladesh into consideration before. A book of this quality, however, has made them sit up and take notice.” Alpana recently met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. “I presented her with a copy of my book. She congratulated me on my success, and said that she is very fond of cooking, especially for her grandchildren,” said the chef.
The Daily Star wishes her many happy returns on her birthday.
