Introduction
Hello there everyone,
I am Ajay from the eastern part of India and working as a chef in Bangalore at the Taj West End, an exclusive 5 star hotel in acres of gardens. My interest is in international cuisine, especially Mediterranean.
When I heard about the blogs, I was keen to put across my views and share my recipes, for the very reason that I am Indian and vegetarianism started in India .
Although I am not vegetarian, I am respectful of those who are and we take catering for them seriously. Many of my relatives are vegan. We call them (Vaishnav-hindi , a word meaning no flesh and disciple of god). They cannot even smell non-vegetarian food and even eggs are banned. When they go away, they carry their own cooking equipment with them if they are not sure of their destination. It probably sounds ridiculous to you but that's what being a disciple of god and being vaishnav means to us, and we all respect it.
I am going to be providing you with some Indian and Italian recipes over the course of my next few blogs.
