Manage episode 311324260 series 3107627
I am proud to present Chef Amninder Sandhu in the latest episode of #FoodocracyForHer. Amninder Sandhu was a science student and a very good one at that. Her father's dream of her becoming a doctor lying at the back of her mind. One day, while playing around with test tubes in the lab, epiphany struck her. It is cooking that she had always loved. What was she doing in a science class?! She joined IHM Aurangabad and began the journey towards living life the way she wanted it to be. She worked in the Taj Hotel chain, went independent and ran restaurants such as Aarth first and then delivery kitchens ('I do not like the term 'dark' kitchen. Our kitchens were very bright') such as Iktaara in collaboration with others before she went completely independent with her chef based wedding catering company, Bliss Foods, and recently launched delivery kitchens in Mumbai and Pune - Ammu Delivery and Barfi & Sons. 'All parts of a jigsaw puzzle that I am looking to complete,' she says. What kept her going through good and bad and these very diverse working environments is her pure love for cooking. Thanks to which she won many accolades both in India and abroad. To know more about this fabulous chef who was pushing the envelope when it came to presenting Indian food even before it became trendy, watch this episode where the normally reticent chef Amninder speaks from her heart.
