\u2018Ingredients can completely change how you imagine flavour\u2019<\/span>\u201cI was nostalgic entering the kitchen where I started my culinary journey 23 years ago,\u201d said Ajay, before he began talking about the importance of quality ingredients. He added, \u201cGreat restaurants are where a chef spends close to 30 per cent of his time just checking his produce because that\u2019s the basis of everything and anything they cook. With ingredients come along stories, culture, heritage, technology, and the sustainability quotient. There\u2019s so much more than just an ingredient presented to you. Like the EU, we need to start taking a lot of pride in our food because that actually has a lot of authenticity and value attached to it.\u201dInspired by childhood memories, Guntas made chikki fudge cake, using dark chocolate from Belgium, whipping cream from France and butter from Denmark. Elaborating on the eclectic mix, Guntas said, \u201cIngredients can change how you imagine flavour. Through this event, we celebrated the shared language of food by bringing together European ingredients and Indian culinary creativity in an accessible and relatable way.\u201d<\/p>\n
