Every dish tells a story. It carries an inspiration, a journey, and a deeper connection to its roots. The more we immerse ourselves in the world of food, the more we realise that there’s always more to learn—and that, in itself, is the beauty of cooking.
In recent years, regional Indian cuisine has rightfully claimed the spotlight—currently ranked 12th best in the world. Once confined to local households, Indian dishes now inspire mainstream menus and reimagine dining as a celebration of identity, cultural pride, and heritage. This is what we see at the forefront of fine dining and contemporary culinary storytelling. It’s revival, but through making the shift towards spotlighting cultural pride and authenticity on mainstream culinary platforms and spaces. This was also a feat that shone through at the recently concluded, "Power Play" by Masters of Marriott Bonvoy and Culinary Culture. The opportunity to associate with a platform that spotlights and engages global culinary talent and tastemakers meant representing the Indian palate in all of its glory.
