During the lockdown, while many are fed up with regular mundane errands, others are showcasing their culinary skills like never before. For chef Amrita Raichand, the experience has been no different.
“We know there are limited ingredients available. The focus is definitely on health because we have to maintain our immunity and our fitness, but at the same time maintain our sanity.
“It is pleasantly amazing to see so many people enter the kitchen now. People who didn’t think food or cooking could ever be a part of their daily routine. People are trying different things and they are experimenting. It is so important to know how to cook. And I think it took the lockdown for people to understand this basic survival skill,” she further said.
On son Agastya Raichand chipping in and helping her, she said: “As long as you don’t tell him to study, he will do everything else. I shot some long Mother’s Day recipes with him, but he did not complain once. He was kind and understanding and patient. These qualities of children are also coming out. It is a different kind of bonding. Taking part in a job is great learning for a 12-year-old”.
