Chef Nandita Karan, executive chef at a five-star hotel in Chandigarh, was today given the “Best Chef of India (Lady Chef)” award at a function organised by the Ministry of Tourism.
Nandita Karan, who specialises in Indian and continental cuisines, built her interest in cooking early in her life as her mother was an excellent cook herself. After graduating from the Institute of Hotel Management, Patna, she pursued her passion for cooking by refining her culinary talent with top hospitality brands across the globe.
During her professional journey of 20 years, she was also fortunate to have collaborated with celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Peter Kuruvita and Sanjeev Kapoor.
