dbp:text
  • Since I started out with a supper club, The Darjeeling Express, I wanted to be the voice of the voiceless. I wanted to reflect the stories of women who never got honoured for cooking. My kitchen is made up of women of Indian heritage who were trained not by the industry, but by their mothers at home. I don’t like the term “progressive Indian cooking.” If you want to modernise our cuisine, then start off by modernising the structure of the kitchen. Let us have equality in the kitchen. Show us the women in your kitchen. I want to see women in positions of power. There has been very little attempt by restaurants to talk about the roots of their food. Too many places have been run as businesses, so they cannot have a conversation about the food they serve. When Indian food is modernised, on a small plate with an edible flower, that is not our food, nor our heritage. (en)
