I wanted to share a heartwarming experience from my yesterday’s cooking class. A talented Japanese chef Ibuki of Pizza4P’s who had set up Cafe’s at Vietnam and Cambodia had traveled all the way to Bangalore to open a pizza outlet, attended my Indian cooking class with his lovely wife. It was a delightful evening filled with the aroma of spices and the joy of culinary exploration.
What struck me the most was their genuine enthusiasm for Indian cuisine. Despite their expertise in the art of pizza-making, they expressed a deep love for our traditional dishes. Dosa, with its crispy texture and flavorful accompaniments, seemed to captivate them. And when it came to the rich and aromatic Butter Chicken, their smiles spoke volumes about their enjoyment.
It was a reminder of the universal language of food, transcending borders and cultures. We bonded over the shared love for flavors, techniques, and the joy of creating something delicious from scratch. Their presence added a special flavor to my class, reminding me the beauty in appreciating and embracing different culinary traditions.
I’m grateful for this delightful encounter and the opportunity to connect through the love of food. It’s moments like these that make teaching the art of cooking an incredibly rewarding experience.
