Q. When did you realise that you wanted to be a chef? What inspired you to pursue this career?
As a child I used to visit five-star restaurants with my uncle on occasions like Christmas and New Year’s. The beautiful displays were unparalleled. That’s when I decided to choose this profession.
While I was doing my industrial training at Hotel Intercontinental during my Hotel Management course, I was really impressed with the live cooking stations in hotels, where chefs got a chance to interact with the guests and prepare food as per their tastes and preferences. The instant feedback for the job is very satisfying as your food brings a smile on your guests’ faces.
So during my training in Hotel Management, I decided to become a chef as I wanted to showcase our cuisine culture to the world. I love food, I love entertaining, and I feel that food is the only medium that impacts all the senses at once. The best part is: you don’t have to say anything when the guest takes a bite from the food you cooked; the smile evident on their face is enough! When you cook with love, the magic always works.
