Delhi is all set to witness one of the biggest food melas this November. Well, being a Delhiite myself, the only fair I used to look forward to when I was a kid was the trade fair. After some time, though even the Auto expo gainedits share of popularity. From this year, fairs like The Great Food Show and the aptly named Palate Fest 2014 will take fairs in Delhi to another level; hardcore and dedicated food festivals where the biggest national and international chefs will showcase their skills to the common man.
The Great Food Show will host 17 master classes with celebrity chefs like Kunal Kapur, Vicky Ratnani, Saransh Goila, Saby and Nishant Choubey among others. Speaking on his participation, Chef Saransh says, “I am super charged about the fact that The Great Food Show is taking place in my hometown this time. There will be loads to eat, drink, shop and learn. So be there and get ready for some signature SadakChef cocktail chaats”. As The Great Food show is happening for the first time in Delhi, Sona Bahadur, Editor BBC Good Food India says, “The Great Food Show will definitely be the culinary event of the year. From brilliant food and drink stalls and live master classes by some of my favourite chefs, to unique artisanal produce, the two day fest will serve up a feast of culinary inspiration”.
Both these festivals apart from workshops will have kids’ zone, live entertainment area and food stalls. “The festival isn’t just about eating – it’s about the entire experience. While strolling the grounds of Nehru Park, one will be able to smell the amazing aromas, enjoy live entertainment, watch live cooking and walk through an array of products at the food market. We are also glad to have collaborated with NDMC marking their centenary year celebrations,” says Aditi Kapoor, Founder & Director, Palate Fest Pvt. Ltd. Most of the popular restaurants of Delhi NCR such as Farzi Café, Le Bistro du Parc, Khan Chacha, Olive, ITC hotels Dakshin, are participating and putting up their pop up restaurants. So the coming weekends have a lot to offer for foodies in the Capital.
The Great Food Show 22nd – 23rd November at The Grand Vasant Kunj.
New Delhi Palate Fest 2014 28th – 30th November at Nehru Park.
