MICHELIN STAR CHEF CHRIS GALVIN IN OUR GARDEN CITY | COOKING WITH STARS AT FOUR SEASONS HOTEL BENGALURU AT EMBASSY ONE.

It's always such an amazing feeling when something special turns your mid-week blues into only happy vibes, Right?  It was such a fabulous evening a couple of weeks back at Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru at Embassy One with some of the cities finest food writers, food enthusiasts and aspiring foodies all witnessing a very interesting and inspiring cook-off session with the reputed restaurateur and Michelin Star Chef Chris Galvin who came all the way from London and made our garden city more vibrant. 



The Crumb Stash had the great honour to experience the cookoff sesh and it was a virtual treat to see the Michelin Star Chef Chris Galvin splashing some magic in the kitchen. He demonstrated 4 Masterchef kinda dishes and every dish inspired me to cook and looked nothing less than a work of art. Literally, we were not able to help but just drool over it again and again. 

 



A big round of applause to Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru team for having beautifully etched the event and it was a gorgeous evening at CUR8, their fine-dining restaurant that serves European, Italian, Continental, North-Indian & South-Indian food. 



The team made full use of the golden hour and turned it out more fabulous with an informative cook-off evening. 

We learnt to make Imambayaldi, Escabeche of Yellowfin Tuna with Aubergine Puree & Herbs, John Dory with Orange Glazed Cauliflower Puree, Curry Oil, Pine Nuts, Sultanas and the show stopper dish was Charred Pumpkin, Burrata, Chima de rappe, Hazelnut, Pomegranate & Sage.

It was so much fun to see some of the preparations done in the huge charcoal grill pit that's right in the centre of CUR8 restaurant and is the largest grill in the country. One will surely get excited looking at the glow of sparks and that coal sparkling. 


Let's Indulge In Some Visual Treat: 

Okay guys, tell me one thing! What is life without beauty and joy, good food, good friends and an interesting story behind a dish?? 


The first-star dish chef made for us was  IMAMBAYALDI, its always fun to trace the history of a certain dish and this dish has predominantly been a classic of the Turkish region. So here's a small story behind the dish, a Turkish Imam indulged in this dish and after that, he fainted when his wife said she had finished off all the olive oil at home just to make this one dish.  While we listened to the story so interestingly, the entire space smelled so divine and the aromas that wafted literally made me go crazy. 


The second dish was this elegance on a plate, Escabeche of Yellowfin Tuna with Aubergine Puree & Herbs. What do you do when you see such elegance on a plate? Click as many pictures as your heart desires or just indulge in the exquisite experience??





 Me not being an avid seafood lover, indulged in clicking numerous pics, but please let me know in the comments what would you do! 


The third dish John Dory made with organic glazed endive, cauliflower puree, curry oil pine nuts & sultanas was a  beautiful blend of food and love. Even the seafood lovers felt a little guilty before scooping out this one, but they went gagagaaaaa after having a taste of it and a friend of mine said: "It's truly one of the finest experience I've ever had". 
  


The fourth and showstopper dish Charred Pumpkin, Burrata, Chima de rappe, Hazelnut, Pomegranate & Sage was truly a delicious and incredible combination. A dish that took both the veg and non-veg lovers to food heaven, pampered our tastebuds and truly captivated our senses. Yup! never knew that I would fall in love with a pumpkin dish so much. The magic was in that charred pumpkin which gave a whole yummilicious twist. 


 The team also pampered our tastebuds with tasting portions of all these delicacies and I am still not able to get over it. 

Thanks a ton to the Michelin Star Chef Chris Galvin for exclusively curating all these sexy dishes for us and a big thanks to Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru At Embassy One for soaking us all in such an incredible experience. 


See you all soon in an another interesting blog. Till then bye-bye and love you all!.
