Narrating his story himself, Bishwajit asserts, “India as a nation has always considered it to be given that a lady should know her way around the kitchen. However, now the time has changed as many men around the world are working hard to rule the kitchen. Born in Delhi, home town Kolkata, I became passionate about cooking by watching my mother preparing family meals, and by the age of 14, I became the ‘right handy sous-chef ’ of my family kitchen. I always try to use fresh as well as locally sourced ingredients in my dishes and I think my cooking style has been influenced by my mother.

Talking about my initial phase, I pursued culinary arts from the Himalayan Institute of Hotel Management in the year 1999. I got my first job in the Oberai from Stars Hotel as a chef, and after that, I traveled through ‘Gustro’ french restaurant, Abu Dhabi national hotel as Head chef, the lake view palm restaurant ( New-Zealand ) as a culinary chef-and, at last, landed to India.
