Got a long awaited title I dreamt for....Infy Super chef Winner... :-)

I don't know how to express my happiness.. Cooking was always my passion.I know I can cook well but I didn't have the confidence to participate in any cookery competitions.



Infy super chef season 2 

When I got a mail from Infosys Catering committee for Infy super chef season 2 competition, I thought of giving it a try..


Quiz in progress.. 

It was of 5 rounds.

• 1st round was quiz round. The catering committee got 800 registrations, out of that 285 participants turned up. It was a tough round, but all my readings helped and I was one of the 56 participants who got selected to the 2nd round.
• 2nd round was heatless cooking. I have prepared Worcestershire mayo veg salad and peach cooler. 15 people got selected to 3rd round.

• 3rd round, we had to prepare a Soup, a starter and an Indian Breakfast dish. 11 got selected to 4rth round.

Cajun spiced potatoes, Cream of corn soup, Battura and paneer masala..

• 4rth round, we had to prepare an Italian starter, a main course with a ' surprise element' and a dessert. I have got 'spaghetti' as surprise element. From 11 participants, 5 got selected for the finals.

Dry fruit Spaghetti with grilled chicken, Seafood ravioli and nut coated thick sauce pudding.

• 5th round, we had to prepare a 5 course meal- Mocktail, Cuisine based soup and starter, Chef-Imitation main course and a dessert. We had 5 cuisines, Italian, Indian, American, Oriental and Mexican. I was not that confident of American cuisine and I was praying that I shouldn't get that.. but when I picked the chit, it was American cuisine. For a moment I was blank as I didn't know what to prepare for American starter. But finally my creative head found something.. :-)

Triple mocktail, Cream of Mushroom soup, Cheesy chicken balls with grilled veggies, Mushroom risotto with grilled vegetables and parmesan crisp and toffee banana with nut coated thick sauce pudding.

The judges were the Executive Chefs from Crown Plaza and Infosys Chefs.. Listening to the professional comments from the chefs I was scared, but when they announced the results I was on cloud nine.. I got a long awaited title as 'Infy Super Chef on 1st April 2015',the unforgettable day in my life...


When my dream come true.........
