Tara Sutaria, known for her mesmerising performances on screen, has a lesser-known passion that equally captivates her—food. Growing up amidst a backdrop of music, dance and theatre, Tara’s familial love for culinary arts naturally blossomed. From the tales of her grandmother’s legendary dinner parties to hosting her own musical soirées intertwined with delectable feasts, Tara’s affinity for food is deeply rooted in her heritage and upbringing. Here’s chatting up with the savvy actress about all things food.
Were you very hands-on in the kitchen while growing up?
Not really. Growing up, I was, and still am, consumed by music from the ’50s until the ’90s. I trained in western classical all my life since I was about five years old and began a wonderful career as a soloist at my own concerts and ones hosted by others too, so my focus was always in the theatre and the arts. I was also training in classical ballet and western dance for twelve years until I gave it up before my Hindi film debut in 2019. I did always keenly observe conversation around food because it was quiet often, all we spoke about all day, and even today we can’t stop the chatter around menu planning for dinner while we sit down for lunch. We’re always talking about what to eat or cook next.
Where does this passion and knowledge about food come from?
