Innovation with an International touch!

The winners - Chef Anupa Das & Chef Aesha Majithia

Beginning this new week with fun, excitement and lots of cooking what with the Innovation Station (Season 3) Competition in the office! The theme was “International Cuisine” this time where three chef teams compiled some interesting dishes. We had very busy kitchens, with steaming pots and pan, a real battle of the biggies, and one could feel the palpable heat of competition and creation!

As expected, they came out with super amazing recipes on their platters where each one of them cooked a three course menu, consisting of a starter, maincourse and dessert.

This is what happened.
Team 1Anupa Das with Aesha Majithia – presented Basil & Watermelon Shooter, Deconstructed Chicken Sandwich, Fishato with Plum & Pista Vinaigrette Greens and Aqua Bomb.
Team 2Saurabh Mishra with Sheetal Kadam – presented Assorted Sushi, Steamed Basa Vegetables with Orange & Black Bean Sauce, accompanied with Coconut Steamed Bread and Jasmine Tea Mousse with Fresh Passion Fruit.
Team 3Anirudh Shrivastava with Dilpreet Singh Kohli – presented Roasted Candied Garlic Soup with Yam & Prawn Roulade & Mango Pico Di-gallo, Mushroom & Yogurt-Pomegranate Oblong Bruschettas, Stuffed Lamb with Cous Cous, Red Rice, Orange Gremollata, Guacamole, Jus Reduction & Rolled Mascarpone Ricotta Cheese and ended with Isodelphia.

I am sure you will be keen to read the recipes so will be uploading them in a couple of days.

Winners are Team 1 – Anupa Das with Aesha Majithia. Congratulations to the duo!

More excitement!! Coming Sunday, January 29th, Times of India, under their TOIKIDS campaign, are organising a cooking workshop at Novotel Hotel, Juhu, Mumbai. I will be there making healthy recipes for children that will look and taste like junk food. For entry, SMS TOIKIDSNAME to 58888. Rush, it is going to get crowded there!

This week, try some snacks that are excellent when kids come home hungry after playtime.



Till I write again.
