    Please share your experience on MasterChef India Session 2?

    MasterChef has been a life alternating experience, I was a home cook and I landed up in a show, learned so much under the expert guidance of the great chefs. Being there itself is an experience. You get to meet so many people and learn so much from them. It was a learning experience for life.

    “What’s on the menu” – Tell us something about your recently launched book?

    It is very close to my heart. It has a beautiful collection of recipes which are easy to do with easily available ingredients as I believe in using lot of local ingredients. It caters to beginner who has just begin to cook to someone who is a professional. There is a good range of recipes and it’s divided beautifully into sections which makes it easy for the reader to read and enjoy his her cooking. If you want to cook chicken then just open the Chicken section, and you are ready to cook. Buy book on Amazon

    Other than cooking what keeps you busy?

    I am into education and part of management for Delhi Public School and that keeps me always busy.

    Tell us something about your Culinary School which you plan to open soon?

    Yes, I do plan to open a culinary school, hopefully it will be by end of this year. This school would provide professional culinary education to underprivileged girls who do not have money to get a complete degree. We would help them to do crash courses which would help them to find a respectable job and honour and earn a livelihood for themselves.

    What’s your favourite recipe?

    Actually it’s very difficult to answer. I have many but yes if you ask for the comfort food which I can eat any day is Rice with Ghee and Dal, Papad and Kabab. I am not too must into pasta and Italian food. Love Indian and simple Food.

    Message to Plattershare Home Chefs because you inspire them?

    Follow your dreams, be passionate about what you are doing. Of course you need a formal degree if you are building a career in hospitality industry and want to be the executive chef but for a home chef – be innovative, try new things, cook food with lot of love as you never know where you will land up.  Innovate new things but don’t forget your authentic and traditional recipes as that’s where you belong.
