Message from Chef
Passion and food, this is the recipe that fueled my desire to craft a career in the food industry. At the tender age of four, in a playschool activity, I innocently painted the phrase “Chef Sanjeev” on a piece of cloth and it was in that moment that it struck me in becoming a chef and that I realized I would aspire to be a chef. Since then, I grew up spending time in the kitchen and watching Sunday cookery shows like Daawat, Khana Khazana, Zaike ka Safar etc helping my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen cutting vegetables or simply looking at what they were cooking……..
