Academy of Culinary arts Bangalore Blogs_Some seafood on my platter


You can call me a softcore non vegetarian( if there’s a term called so). In other words, I eat non veg only on occasions. I‘d like to share one of the experiences I had while going on a trip to the coastal state of Goa . 

Now, Goa is famous for its seafood. So, as we halted to a small restaurant and ordered a  non veg platter. We pre assumed it to be prawns or the maximum some exotic fish or something. And the food finally arrived….and left us well, speechless! There was seafood, right, but not in the form we imagined. The platter consisted of prawns and... well frog legs!! Now I just stared at them. By exotic food and sea food I never thought of frog legs, at least. Then someone just told me it was a local delicacy. 

There are many professional culinary courses in India which specialises in teaching exotic non vegetarian dishes just like these. One can choose from a full time to part time courses. These courses are specifically designed so that the students get to learn the latest trend and technique in culinary art.

Culinary institutes in India are a new concept. These institutes use the latest state of the art technology to teach the students everything related to culinary art. They are visited by chefs of national and international standards who are skilled in their craft and know what’s in vogue.  

Top 10 culinary schools in India teach everything right from Indian, continental ,Asian and various other cuisines. They are taught by complete hands on training. By joining these institutes one gets the required expertise needed for cooking different cuisines.
So, just before signing of this write up ,I’ll like to come back to the frog legs ! Did I eat them ? Nope...as I already told I was a softcore non veg ! Though I did enjoy the prawns. Slurp!

Survival guide with just 5 ingredients - Chef Shailesh

I think we’re lucky, really lucky because we live in a civilized and urban world where nearly everything we wish to eat can be easily delivered to our doorstep using an app. The saying “No one knows a man better than his grocer” may well have been usurped by “no one knows a man better than his food delivery app”. Consider also that talented chef’s today are experimenting and creating Indian haute cuisine in an attempt to command respect globally. Such cuisine is truly Indian but when presented looks identical to the highest quality French cuisine . Chefs are pushing boundaries and opening boutique restaurants where Indian favourites like butter chicken aren’t even on the menu. At such restaurants, the traditional Indian naan is being served stuffed with blue cheese which at times leads first-time diners to inform the chef that the cheese in the naan is spoiled! Yet undeterred, Indian chefs continue to push the boundaries of Indian cuisine. But while the lifestyles of us big city dwell...

I’m on a 100 Day no Sugar Challenge- Chef Eureka Araujo

I’m one of those people who were passionate about baking at a very young age, while girls my age swooned over popular actors; I swooned over master chefs and tasty delicacies, truly.

How cuisines evolved from ancient to modern times in India

Food has always been the spice of life, especially when it’s Indian cuisine. Indian cuisines consist of a wide variety of traditional as well regional cuisines. Given the variety in soil type, climate, culture, ethnic groups and occupation, these cuisines differ significantly from each other and use locally available spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits. The religious beliefs and culture in India have played a significant role in the evolution of its cuisine. India’s unique blend of cuisines evolved through large-scale cultural interaction with our neighbors namely, Persia, ancient Greece, Mongolia and West Asia. With the coming of Arabs and Portuguese traders, chili peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. came into existence. European cooking styles were introduced during the colonial period. This has since then always, added to the variety of Indian cuisine. The history of Indian cuisines can be taken back to the ancient days when the culture of preparing cuisines in a proper ...
