Every day I ate Indian home cooking in the staff canteen made by an amazing chef called Oscar.As his kitchen was next to my kitchen he told me everything about the essential ingredients, combinations and techniques India has to offer. Straight away I fell in love and have been an ambassador of Indian foods even since. I'm even adopting Indian recipes into my own kitchen. Years later when I got introduced to Bobby Geetha, I saw we were on the same wavelength adapting classical to traditional recipes using modern approaches and techniques. and again I fell in love because I think now is the time and place that Indian fine dining deserves the same recognition as other countries.
