In a candid interview for the "Chef-speaks" section of the Incredible Goa Food and Hospitality Magazine, Chef Kanchan shared his journey, culinary principles, and insights into his role as an executive chef.
A Culinary Journey of 42 Years
Chef Kanchan's path into the culinary world began with inspiration from his mother's mouth-watering delicacies. He fondly recalls standing next to her in their home kitchen, learning the secrets of flavours and textures. His journey gained momentum as he joined the prestigious IHMCTAN Mumbai, where he was introduced to a world of culinary excellence. This was the turning point in his career, setting him on a path of no return. He joined the IHC Group and worked at the Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai and Taj Flight Kitchen Mumbai before returning to Goa in 2009-10.
Cooking with Passion and Love
