Jr Sous Chef

Summary

Working at the three-Michelin-star , Le Calandre ⭐⭐⭐is a dream realized, where I'm privileged to learn the nuances of exceptional food quality, impeccable service, and advanced culinary techniques.

More than just cooking, I'm passionate about crafting storytelling experiences through each dish, connecting with guests on a deeper level. I love presenting my culinary creations, but find self-promotion a challenge.

I'm proudly Indian, with a deep love for Bollywood and cricket.

I believe food, shared with a smile, is the ultimate connector. I'm particularly fond of exploring and mastering new cuisines, always eager to expand my culinary horizons.
