Meet Chef Vinay Sood, a connoisseur of homemade bakery wonders, blending tradition with innovation to delight palates worldwide.

**Why did you choose to specialize in desserts?**

-In pursuit of culinary creativity akin to the sweetness of chocolate and pastry, my journey into the realm of desserts stems from a genuine passion for crafting delectable treats. As the first in my family to tread the path of a chef, I am driven by a desire to establish a culinary legacy, channeling my interests into a lasting contribution.

**What can guests anticipate from your dessert creations?**

-I elevate familiar desserts, such as the classic brownie, by infusing my unique touch to evoke awe-inspiring moments. The emphasis lies not only on exquisite flavor but also on impeccable presentation, ensuring a delightful and impressive experience for customers.

**How do you keep up with culinary trends, and how do they influence your menu choices?**

-During my leisure time, I immerse myself in culinary videos, drawing inspiration to experiment with ingredients and create innovative confections. Incorporating foraging techniques, including garnishing with edible flowers, further enriches my repertoire and aligns with contemporary culinary trends.

**Could you share a memorable moment from your culinary journey?**

-Six years ago, I experimented with new ingredients and methods, resulting in a remarkable brownie that recently resurfaced during menu development. Tasked with creating a dessert reflecting New Zealand's beauty, this brownie, accompanied by a stunning tree trunk presentation, became a popular highlight—a testament to the enduring wow factor of culinary innovation.

**What are your aspirations for your career as a dessert chef, and how do you plan to continually evolve and push boundaries in your craft?**

-In the future, I aim to grow ‘K Kitchen and Bar’ by showcasing our desserts globally through vlogging and social media. By expanding our reach, I hope to elevate the restaurant's reputation and contribute to its lasting legacy in the culinary world.

Meet Mr. Bhuwan Kala, our Executive Chef, revealing his culinary journey and the visionary path for our restaurant's identity.

**1. Embarking on a Culinary Odyssey**

**Q:** What inspired your passion for cooking and becoming a chef?

**A:** My culinary journey roots in a childhood surrounded by family chefs. The transformative artistry of culinary creation fascinated me, propelling me towards a career in the culinary arts.

**2. Culinary Artistry: The Paritua Forbidden Rice Risotto**

**Q:** Share your favorite dish and its story.

**A:** The Paritua Forbidden Rice Risotto is a masterpiece. Departing from Arborio rice, we opted for forbidden rice during menu development, adding a local wine, Paritua, for nuanced depth. The confit-style duck from local suppliers contributes to its unique flavor.

**3. Culinary Alchemy with Local and Seasonal Ingredients**

**Q:** Any local or seasonal ingredients you love?

**A:** Incorporating Kawakawa and lovage isn't just a choice; it's a commitment to sustainability. Kawakawa adds a New Zealand touch with peppery notes. Lovage brings herbal freshness, connecting our menu to nature's bounty.

**4. Culinary Vision: Tradition and Innovation in Harmony**

**Q:** What's your vision for the restaurant's identity?

**A:** Our vision is to create an immersive dining experience blending tradition and innovation. We showcase local flavors, embracing global influences. Sourcing high-quality local ingredients and continuous innovation through experimentation define our culinary approach. Meticulous attention to detail and dedication to culinary excellence aim to establish our restaurant as a beacon of gastronomic innovation and cultural celebration in the community.
