Chef Michael Swamy and Mugdha Savkar are renowned names in the industry, who speak about the changes the food tastes and preferences see. They say ‘Through time and ages we see food differently. It is the familiarity that keeps drawing us back to the dishes we love, dishes that take us on a familiar journey of nostalgia. Cafe food is one such instance of comfort and sublimity where we can sit for ages, chat with friends and bond over great food. The coming of age cafes across the metros and small cities provide comfort food and something more.’ “Culinary trends get updated & outdated every few months… the only trend that never goes out of date is COMFORT. Comfort in food is sought after by every single people regardless of age, diet fads, nationality and class. This book celebrates that very comfort.”
The star cricketer himself in his address speaks about his immense love for Delhi food and his favourite Juicy Luicy Burger from Café Delhi Heights.
