Friday May 15, 2020 @ 7pm - Chicken Tikka Masala with Chef Patel from Ghee

ABOUT CHEF PATEL

Born in the South to traditional Indian parents, Chef Patel became inspired to cook since he was a child, composing menus for his family, featuring dishes he would prepare for them. He always enjoyed satisfying their tastebuds as they would savour his creations. As he traveled around the world working in The Cayman Islands, The Florida Keys, and studying in Europe, Chef Patel became influenced by the variety of flavors and people native to those places. The way in which local ingredients were impacted by their environment drove him to push the envelope in his farm to table approach to cooking.
