CONSULTANCY

Chef Monisha has worked with food businesses for several years, helping them develop their Indian offering through bespoke consultancy packages.  

Recipe Development

We have created on trend menus based on authentic Indian recipes that fit brands and kitchen logistics. We can create new recipes to add on to your existing repertoire or work with your chefs towards NPD. 

We can also train your chefs and provide quality control until we perfect your Indian food offering.

Some of the companies we have worked with are

General Mills, USA, Haines McGregor, Bakkavor, Veetee Mega Basmati Rice, Indian Zing restaurant (London), HP Pancakes 

Small Business Mentoring

Food businesses are not restricted to restaurant, hotel or catering work. There are countless ways to make your passion for food into a successful career. As someone who has worked in several sectors of this business to include restaurants, catering, lecturing, guest cheffing, teaching, guest speaking, recipe development, leading food tours and much more, Monisha has a wide vision of the possibilities.

We can help you build your food business by offering our expertise and experience. We will listen to your plans and guide you to through finer details that you may not have considered. We will help you build a business with realistic goals and a confident growth plan. Monisha will work with you to give your business structure and purpose.

Some examples of the work we have done- mentoring a new Indian food truck business in the UK, Indian food at Quick Service Restaurants in Scandinavia and creating a new, add on Indian menu for a European restaurant in Germany.
