MUMBAI, DEC 29
A passion towards food and cooking varied dishes with a touch of innovation and creative ideas dishing out impressive delicacies to pamper the tastebuds of food connoisseurs has always been on top of the charts for the celebrity master chef all through his successful journey of over 25 years now. Chef Kaviraj is not only a creative cuisine specialist, consultant and food designer but also a guide, mentor and coach to thousands of students pursuing hospitality studies & culinary arts all through the country.
The spirit of competition brings out the best from within a person offering a platform to showcase the very best version to impress the audience and food lovers. It is imperative to note that if one is keen on making it big it calls for active participation in the said area and this event was just one more opportunity for the budding chefs to do so.
IIT Bombay being one of the well-known and prestigious institution in our country has always been a step ahead in offering students the very best of education and exposure in all possible ways and adding to it is the annual college fest called “Mood Indigo” which takes place in the month of December offering various events and contests where students from all over come and participate. Chef Kaviraj has been associated with IIT Bombay for the last few years and has been actively extending support towards the cooking contests at these events, including sponsoring the awards and trophies for the winners as well.
This year’s ‘Chef’s Corner cooking contest’ at Mood Indigo too was a super hit and successful one as always. The participants from all across were very well versed with their creative ideas relating to their recipes, the concept, the background of the dishes, the presentation and portion size, nutritional knowledge and more. The passion for cooking was clearly visible in all the teams who took part and it was a pleasure to interact with them and check out their creative art on the plates to treat the palate.
The best part about the cooking contest this year was that it was in a nice open atmosphere with food stalls around where people could move around enjoy some mouth-watering delicacies at various food and beverage stalls plus see live cooking happening by these time- bound culinary aspirants. It is always good to see young talent working out-of-the-box and trying their minds with something different and versatile.
Speaking with this correspondent, Dr Kaviraj Khialani – Celebrity Master Chef, said, “I would like to congratulate all the top 3 winning teams at the Chef’s Corner Cooking Contest at IIT Bombay and wish them all the very best for their dishes well done to impress me and my senses to make the right choice of winners and appreciate their skills and talent with my customised trophies and gift hampers this season! Looking forward to more such events in the near future, my best wishes to all the organisers at Mood Indigo for their future endeavours!”
