Chef Dev Kasalkar...Chef Ringmaster


Objective:- To Foster the quality of Imagination in Culinarians for being a professional Asset in the food service industry…

Chef Dev Says

“I worked hard to reach the position I'm here Today just alike anyone else. Achieving goal with hard work becomes easy if we have the clarity of what we want & the path to travel. Dear all Young Chefs... work hard, give genuine respect and trust to your seniors”.

“Well I would like to makemy food is my devotion and my devotion is towards the cooking. I know one thing whatever around me is because of kitchen and not anything else. The kind of person I am as you all know. Throughout my life never tried to change myself I think ethics and principles really matter in life and I kept it very simple going”.

“The process is more important than the result' the result is just a by-product of the process. But in today’s world, we are so focused on the byproduct that we get away from the process. So take care of the process, all the small things and eventually you will get the desired result. We often complain that we should get more as a result but actually, we always get whatever we have prepared for. If we prepare well, we execute well, if we are honest to ourselves then, we will get the desired result. And if you are short of it, you need to keep learning more n more...”
