Chef Shikha

After moving to Delhi from Agra for her studies and then staying back for her career in marketing and sales in the advertising industry, Chef Shikha missed her home food. Chef Shikha comes from a family of chefs. Her maternal grandparents and uncles are running a Satvik restaurant in Kolkata and this skill of chef has been passed on from generations. Being a foodie since childhood, she always wanted to be in control of what she wanted to eat, and hence she made a constant run to her mother with requests for what she wanted for her next meal. This sense of curiosity and enthusiasm came back in 2007.

Over a decade ago she started cooking and experimenting with spices, and she has learned a lot since then. She quit her sales and marketing job is now a full-time foodie.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”346″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Chef Osama

A food writer, historian, restaurateur, festival curator, and a passionate master-chef, Chef Osama Jalali comes from a non-hospitality background and has reviewed over 2000 restaurants. He is one of the few writers who refused to restrain himself to just writing about food but cook them too. He curated Khandaan (Awadhi, Rampuri, Shahjahani, Nizami)-based menus for hotels and private Daawat.

His mother learned a lot from the royal Khansamas during their time in Rampur Gharana, which was later passed on to Osama. This is maybe the reason why he is most famous for hi Gosht/Mutton ka halwa recipe from the bygone Mughal era and is the only person in the country to cook it. Recreating lost Mughal era recipes is what Osama is known for. He is known to be the authority on Mughlai cuisine and ambassador.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row gap=”30″ equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”614″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
