BBC GoodFood, the specialist  food magazine, will be launched in India on 21 October 2011.

Ingredients that were not available a few years ago are easily ccessible now. Restaurants in India are serving food from around the world – be it Spanish, French or Japanese. It is a great time to aunch a specialist food magazine.”
