Chef Alfred Prasad: Striking a Sweet Chord

Darpan News Desk, 01 Jun, 2016

    Alfred Prasad’s passion for cooking has been profoundly celebrated across the industry. With his vast cross-border experience in cooking, Prasad brings a pleasant amalgamation of India’s eclectic heritage with distinct modern impressions. His creative synopsis of spices has earned him appreciation from the experts and in fact a major highpoint in his extensive career was becoming the youngest Indian to receive a Michelin Star at the age of 29.

    Over the past years, Prasad has been advocating for food waste and food poverty by associating himself with organizations- Food Cycle and Actions Against Hunger. In 2014, he participated in the India Cycle Challenge along with other chefs, journalists, activists and journalists to raise funds for the intended beneficiaries. Presently, Prasad is working on his own restaurant project in London and is also writing his first book!
