What we love most at GourmetDesire are the experiences we share with our guests and fellow travellers.
This one, with Dr. Drewek from Colorado, was particularly special. In many ways, it took me right back to why I started Gourmet Desire in the first place.
Beyond sharing my love for Indian culture, food and cooking, I have always loved meeting people, hearing their stories, sharing mine, and simply sitting around a table and breaking bread together.
Dr. Drewek flew all the way from Colorado to India for a weekend to cook, explore, and experience India in a more local and personal way.
As we spent time together and I learnt more about his journey, I was completely inspired. His story is remarkable, but what stayed with me even more was his incredible zest for life - his curiosity, openness and desire to keep experiencing the world. There was an energy about him that was truly infectious.
The fact that someone would fly halfway across the world, even if just for a weekend, because they wanted to learn, experience and connect, made me pause and think about the power of what we do at Gourmet Desire.
Food is often the starting point. But what happens around it; the conversations, the stories, the laughter, the exchange of cultures; is what makes an experience truly memorable.
And perhaps that is what GourmetDesire has really been about all these years, not just teaching people how to cook Indian food, but sharing a little piece of India through food, stories and experiences.
Every guest leaves with something from us, but we leave with something from every guest too.
And that, for me, is the real beauty of Gourmet Desire. ❤️
