The Base Idea
& what we intend to achieve
.jpg)

Very rarely do we think about the source of the food that we consume. The modern Indian culinary palette is full of industrialized, hybrid and chemical induced produce. But the food of our grandparents told a different story. Indian cuisine was a celebration of native, organic, wild, traditionally grown and hyper local produce, and the soul of Indian cuisine was in India's farms and forests.
Through this experience, we try to connect back to our farms and forests through the idea of food. Let's get back to learning how to eat healthy by sustainably foraging our meals from whatever nature has to offer! Let us learn what goes into producing our food and how can it be done sustainably.
