About me

For several years, I was the Banquet Manager for the world famous,The Taj Mahal Intercontinental Hotel in Bombay, India. Eventually, I moved to Florida where I joined the Sheraton Hotel group in Boca Raton. I worked there for several years, after which I joined The Westin Hotels and Resorts. During my hotel career (spanning over 25 years) I have had many opportunities to plan and execute many very important occasions ranging from exotic events like banquets for weddings, for Indian Parliament members, for celebrities and for foreign delegations. Not to mention the years of experience I have had cooking and entertaining for my children, grandchildren (probably the hardest and easiest to please) and guests. In short, I am not a novice in the food and entertainment field. I am especially trying to reach out to the young generation and those who have all the passion and enthusiasm to enhance their cooking through eastern flavors, methods, and recipes. By combining Eastern and Western flavors, which are very popular and enjoyed throughout the world, I hope to excite a new taste bud in people that will take advantage of both American and Indian cuisines. I am also very passionate about various arts, especially, oil and acrylic painting on canvas. My new passion is digital painting for which I have a separate blog. I invite all those who have interest in digital paintings to join me on my blog. It is www.mypainteddigitaldreams.blogspot.com
