Life is one big party


Recently, I visited a big fat wedding. It was one wedding that left all the guests speechless. The ambience was simply ‘wow’ and the food out of the world. As for me it was the food that bowled me over. The platter was both, vegetarian and non vegetarian. The chilli chicken, the achari baingan, the pullav, the biryani and I could go on...were simply lip smacking. The chefs had done a marvellous job. Everything seemed to have been done with an eye towards detail.  Best spices were used, the vegetables were finely grated, and the food seemed to have been cooked keeping in mind the taste factor.

We all crave for such yummilicious food in our day to day life. Earlier such cooking were taught mostly in homes and were household affairs. However, in the modern times, there are many culinary institutes, which provide training in culinary arts. Here, cooking is taught according to the latest trends being followed in the international market.

Culinary courses in Delhi are perfect example of this fact. Here, the courses are available for short duration to long duration. The students can have their pick. This only goes on to show that these culinary institutes are apt for people who want to become professional chefs to people who want to pursue it as a vocation.

Professional culinary academy in Chennai cater to the needs of the middle as well as the upper income group of people. These institutes are best for those want to improve their dexterity in cooking basically because of the fact that everything is taught by complete hands on training.

The Academy of culinary Arts is an example of one of the best culinary institutes in Bangalore. It has the qualities that a best culinary school should have.

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...

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 ...

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

Asking a pastry chef to bake exquisite desserts for 100 days but to also avoid eating sugar during the same period may be akin to asking a seasoned vintner to attend wine tasting parties daily but do not actually sample any wine; how can they resist. Yet not only am I taking part in a “ 100 days no sugar challenge ” but with each passing day, I’m getting closer to succeeding with flying colours in this endeavour.
