THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE OLDEST INDUSTRIES. BUT THE DEMAND FOR CHEFS IS NEWFOUND
THE love for good food is a unifying trait for people the world over. Little wonder then that, today, international food festivals are being leveraged to facilitate cultural understanding among nations. On a similar note, Indian Council for Cultural relations recently organised the IBSA Food Festival in the Capital.
“The food and beverage industry, incidentally one of the oldest industries, is becoming increasingly organised and competitive. As a result, there is a burgeoning demand for chefs,” said Rajan Loomba, executive chef, Durbar, The Ashok Hotel. He added: “There is a general perception that pursuing a career as a chef requires one to be absorbed only in restaurants or hotels. But, the truth is that there is a parallel demand for qualified chefs in hospitals, residential academic institutions, defence establishments and industrial catering units.”
