Rediscovering Indian Roots: Our Culinary Philosophy

Food is more than just sustenance. Join our chefs as we discuss why we are fighting to save seasonal, local Indian cooking from becoming a fading memory.

Chef Sarabjeet gives his candid advice to youngsters entering the tough, often glamorized, food and beverage industry. He stresses the importance of sustainability, creativity, and having a unique vision to survive.

We are forgetting what is seasonal, regional, and local. Our chef passionately explains how food should be a memory, taking you back 15 years, and warns against losing our culinary traditions to convenience.

Bajra, jowar, ragi, lentils, this was our real diet. Our chefs discuss the worrying shift in Indian eating habits towards Western foods and the decline of regional specialization among new culinary students.

Chef Sarabjeet breaks down common misconceptions about Indian cuisine. It's not just about throwing spices in a pot; it's about balance, technique, and letting specific flavors shine.

A deep dive into the world of food studies with Dr. Kurush Dalal. We discuss food beyond recipes, exploring its history, archaeology, politics, and philosophy.

About Our Philosophy: Voices & Views

We don't just teach recipes. Whether you are looking at our deep-dive regional Indian workshops or our professional diploma programs, the goal is the same: to help you understand the history and technique behind your food. If you are tired of generic cooking classes and want to learn why traditional methods like using millets or iron tawas matter, check our upcoming session calendar.
