A chef with ardent admiration for food has been spreading his magic in India and abroad. It’s his story.
It won’t be incorrect if we say chef Manish Mehrotra is the flagbearer of modern Indian cuisine, who managed to take it beyond curry and naan. He took the Indian food industry by storm with Indian Accent, a restuarant, where he redefined the fine dining experience, placing India on the global culinary map. His recent association with Nature’s Miracle has led to sumptous dishes that are organic and entirely based on fresh fruits and veggetables. We chatted with Manish about his journey. Edited excerpts:
Your dishes look avant-garde, but are typically constructed on simple ingredients and elements. How do your champion humble produce in such a modern aesthetic?
Simple, fresh ingredients are always great to use to create a star recipe. It is a combination of these humble ingredients and modern plating which makes it a superstar dish.
What is the importance of constantly innovating the food you serve?
Innovation is crucial in the Indian food industry to keep the guests interested. They are constantly looking out for what’s next, and we as chefs keep pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zone and challenge to do better.
From New Delhi to New York, we’ve seen you tweak your menu to accommodate local taste and cultures. What’s the reason behind this transition?
