City foodies enjoyed a hands-on cooking experience with Chef Ajay Chopra at an exclusive workshop over the weekend

Recently, HT Café organised a cooking workshop at Prego, The Westin Mumbai Garden City, in association with the Taste Of Mumbai festival. Lucky winners got to attend an interactive session with Chef Ajay Chopra, who has also been one of the judges of MasterChef India.

A specialist in Mediterranean cuisine, he briefed the participants on the history of each dish and shared many tips and tricks with them. “Bread is like your girlfriend. When you try too much to make it perfect, it gets ruined,” said Chopra. While making dessert, he added, “Many people claim to make Tiramisu, but they are far from authentic. The original Tuscany Tiramisu is easy to make in terms of the processes involved, but it requires specific ingredients that very few people know of.”

“I came with an open mind and it was an amazing experience. I wish to recreate this in my own kitchen,” said, Gitika Saikia, one of the winners. Another participant, Amarendra Mulye, added, “After I watched MasterChef India, it was my dream to meet Chef Chopra, so this is a great experience for me.”
