THE JW Marriott, New Delhi marked Aerocity, its 12th anniversary recently with a dinner that celebrated not only a hotel's milestone but also a deeper meditation on origins, where heat, light, and flavour intertwine. Every dish seemed to trace the journey of sunlight, from the field to the plate.

The evening, curated by chef Caique Tizzi, was titled 'The Art of Harvesting the Sun', an exploration of how nature, fire, and time converge to create food.

Tizzi, an Italian, was born in Brazil. He now lives in Berlin.

Not surprisingly, he has a multicultural sensibility that reflects in his cooking. His food feels like a crossroads of continents the passion of Latin America, the style of Italy and the experimentation of Berlin's art scene. The result is a cuisine that is as thoughtful as it is sensory.
