Apero Behind The Scenes: The Story of Our Kitchen
See how we turn chaos into culinary magic. From 5 a.m. starts to the final plating, here is the real story of how Apero comes to life.
Weekends off? Not for us. This video shows my dedicated team mixing, packing, and creating magic. Making good food doesn't take a day off.
A quick-fire Q&A where I share a bit about Apero's style and the chaos behind the scenes. The best compliment I ever received? That my food felt like a hug.
People see the final dishes, but they don't always see the 5 a.m. wake-ups and toddler tantrums. This video is about the beautiful chaos of being a mom, a chef, and a founder.
The break is over and I'm back with overflowing ideas. After some time away to recharge and refocus, I'm ready to create without limits. Stick around, it's going to be good.
Behind every bite is a team that slices, dices, and delivers magic. A glimpse of my team working hard to prepare for the Disney x Kanika Goyal event.
Every detail is plated with purpose by the hands behind the flavour. Here I am, putting the finishing touches on a tray of appetizers for an event.
How clients think I react versus how I actually react to new orders. Every order is a reason for a little happy dance because it's our heart showing up at your table.
You need a hug? Or maybe you just need a huge cheese platter. Here I am, offering up the ultimate comfort food.
Our weekends don't believe in being boring. This video shows me taking our "What are you doing this weekend?" sign to an event full of wine, cheese, and laughter.
You've seen the polished posts, now here's the real me behind the scenes. Vibing, laughing, and keeping the team entertained while getting the work done.
About The Apero Story: Behind The Scenes
People usually see the polished, aesthetic grazing tables, but those are just the final act. Most days start at 5 a.m., long before the first guest arrives, filled with recipe testing, team huddles, and the occasional toddler tantrum. It is messy, loud, and incredibly fast-paced, but that intensity is exactly how we ensure your event feels like a hug, not a formal, cold presentation.
The Reality of the Apero Kitchen
There is no corporate playbook here. Apero began in the middle of a pandemic, born from a late-night epiphany and a jar of truffle edamame mousse. Today, that energy still powers everything we do. When you hire us for your event in Mumbai, you are not just getting a food setup; you are getting a team that has pulled all-nighters to perfect a sauce or rearranged logistics on the fly to meet a deadline.
The Team Behind the Taste
I am the face you see, but Apero is built by a team that slices, dices, and delivers magic. From Dhruv, who manages our operations with superhuman patience, to our kitchen staff who prep every single dip and platter by hand, everyone here is deeply invested in the final result. We do not believe in copy-paste catering. Whether it is a private gathering in Khar West or a large-scale product launch, we approach each project as a personal mission to create an experience, not just a service.
Why We Do It
My mother-in-law taught me that cooking is about love, not just following a recipe. That is the philosophy we take to every venue. We use house-made ingredients, fresh flowers, and specific lighting because the environment matters as much as the food. We want our grazing tables to be a conversation starter. We want our hot bites to bring people together. If you are looking for catering that feels personal, chaotic in the best way, and genuinely warm, then we are your people.

Hi, I’m Malvika. I started Apero with a late-night cheese epiphany, and since then, my life has been a juggle of spreadsheets, toddler chaos, and truffle mousse. I’m a chef and a mom, and I believe the best events are the ones that feel as warm as home.
