GOING BACK TO OUR ROOTS WITH ‘RAW CONVERSATIONS'

Our first virtual event with Himalayan Natural Mineral Water brought together expert chefs and wellness experts to talk about all things raw, indigenous and sustainable

The world has never been more obsessed with food. From sourcing clean ingredients to practicing sustainable eating practices and unearthing our grandmother’s recipes, eating healthy has become our number one priority. It’s time to champion what is raw, indigenous and sustainable, and we are putting the spotlight on going back to our roots to celebrate our own indigenous produce.

In 2017, Condé Nast Traveller and Himalayan created India’s Top Restaurant Awards, the first definitive and credible list of the finest restaurants across the country as voted for by more than 100 jury members. These awards recognise not just India’s top restaurants but also the entire ecosystem that makes the restaurant industry what it is— from farmers, to homegrown brands, chefs and food writers. This year, at Condé Nast Traveller’s first virtual event, we put together a series of ‘Raw Conversations’ with Himalayan Natural Water, where we spoke to some of India’s foremost names in the food and wellness space. They shared their insights with us, spoke to us about what’s cooking in their kitchens and shared some simple, healthy recipes using raw, easy to find ingredients.
