Chef Suvir Saran shares in a CNN interview the heart-wrenching story of having a dear restauranteur friend who died of AIDS.

He shares that the man who died had many dear friends who were denied interaction with him during his final months- and he was denied theirs'- due to deeply private and traditional immigrant parents who did not want his illness to be known publicly.

Has anyone seen any of Saran's cookbooks?
