Curating Sustainable Cuisine

Over the last two decades, we have had countless culinary tales woven around the concept of ‘Farm to Table’ but seldom have we had one that focusses on sustainable cuisine. This involves taking it up a notch further by serving not just healthy, organic, seasonal food with natural flavours but also promoting local communities, using nutritious microgreens, to enlightening the local fisher folk about endangered aquatic species. This is precisely the philosophy behind Colony Clubhouse and Grill – one among the three distinct dining destinations at the Grand Hyatt Kochi Bolgatty. To say the least, the Queen of the Arabian Sea has yet another feather in her cap with the launch of this palatial hotel that resonates style, elegance and luxury! With 264 rooms, 4 villas, 10,000 sq m of event space, parking for 1,200 cars, 3 helipads, 3 boat jetties and more, it has definitely stepped up Kerala’s presence on the world map. RITZ explores the enticing menu offered at this world class diner with Executive Chef Hermann Grossbichler and Chef De Cuisine Prakash Sundaram, who promise to make it an enlightening culinary journey.
