From the bustling streets of Mumbai to the tranquil kitchens of Kerala, the culinary landscape of India is undergoing a flavourful revolution. In this article, we delve into the enticing tapestry of new trends and conditions shaping the delectable journey of Indian cuisine. The 20th Annual Chef Awards, orchestrated by the Indian Culinary Forum (ICF) applauded exceptional culinary skills. Taking place at New Delhi’s Hotel Ashok, this gathering united top chefs and experts in the field. These prestigious ICF Annual Chef Awards celebrate the valuable contributions of culinary artisans to the hospitality industry and aim to elevate the global appreciation of Indian cuisine.

In an exclusive dialogue with Kitchen Herald, we delve into a captivating discussion with esteemed chefs, exploring the diverse trends and innovations that the culinary industry is poised to warmly welcome.

Sustainable food consumption 

Sustainable food consumption addresses global hunger by reducing food waste, promoting local and seasonal foods, supporting small-scale farmers, shifting toward plant-based diets, improving food security and access, conserving biodiversity, and minimizing water and energy usage. This holistic approach creates more resilient and equitable food systems, combating hunger while considering environmental and social aspects of food production and consumption.

Dr Chef Prem Ram, Joint Secretary of the Indian Culinary Forum, explains, “Sustainable food consumption encompasses a comprehensive strategy to address global hunger. It emphasizes the importance of reducing food waste through improved planning, storage, and redistribution. Embracing local and seasonal foods reduces environmental impact and supports local economies. Small-scale farmers, particularly in developing nations, benefit from fair trade practices and access to resources, increasing food production in vulnerable communities. Shifting toward plant-based diets lessens the environmental impact of animal agriculture, freeing up resources for human consumption. Initiatives like community gardens and food banks improve food security, especially in underserved areas. Biodiversity conservation ensures a stable food supply, reducing the risk of shortages. Finally, minimizing water and energy usage in food production enhances resilience in the face of climate change and resource constraints. In essence, sustainable food consumption tackles global hunger while fostering resilient and equitable food systems, considering social, environmental, and economic aspects.”

Zero Waste Kitchens

Zero Waste Kitchens represent an innovative approach within the culinary industry, aimed at significantly reducing food waste while fostering sustainability and environmental awareness. This holistic strategy encompasses three key elements.

“Firstly, the concept of reinventing menus stands at the forefront. Chefs are challenged to craft menus that prioritize the utilization of every part of an ingredient, from stems to peels and even scraps. This culinary creativity not only leads to delectable dishes but also minimizes waste generation,” informs Chef Vaibhav Bhargav, partner Chef at Cho, a Vietnamese kitchen and bar in the capital.

He further explains, “Secondly, the procurement process is overhauled. Establishing close relationships with local suppliers and farms becomes pivotal in sourcing ingredients sustainably. This may involve the acquisition of imperfect or surplus produce that might otherwise be discarded, thereby contributing to waste reduction. Lastly, guest education plays a vital role in this initiative. Diners are enlightened about the significance of minimizing food waste. Menus themselves can act as educational tools, elucidating the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability. Additionally, waitstaff actively engages with guests, sharing insights about the menu’s zero waste components.”

In essence, Zero Waste Kitchens serve as a boon for the environment and resonate with consumers increasingly inclined towards eco-friendly dining options, ultimately promoting a more conscientious and sustainable culinary landscape.

AI: The Key Ingredient in Modern Hospitality

Technology and artificial intelligence (AI) have revolutionized the hospitality industry, particularly within restaurants, in several key ways.

Chef (Dr.) Gautam Chaudhry, asserts, “Automation powered by AI has become integral to restaurant operations. It handles tasks such as reservations, and order processing, and even utilizes robotic chefs for cooking, reducing the reliance on human labor and minimizing errors. In addition, customer service is greatly enhanced through the use of chatbots and virtual assistants. These AI-driven systems respond instantly to customer inquiries and can even take orders. Furthermore, AI recommendation systems offer personalized menu suggestions, elevating the overall dining experience.”

Moreover, data analysis is a crucial aspect where AI helps restaurants analyze customer data. This data aids in understanding preferences, order history, and feedback, allowing restaurants to tailor menus, promotions, and marketing strategies to individual preferences.

“In terms of operations, AI optimizes supply chain management, inventory control, and kitchen operations, thereby reducing waste and enhancing cost-efficiency. AI also plays a significant role in menu engineering, using algorithms to analyze the profitability and popularity of menu items. This assists restaurants in fine-tuning their offerings to maximize revenue,” concludes Chef Gautam.

Furthermore, AI systems contribute to efficient table management by assisting in managing reservations and seating arrangements, ensuring the effective use of restaurant space. Especially in the post-COVID era, technology is crucial for contactless dining, facilitating order placement and payment, which not only enhances safety but also offers convenience to customers.

“Online ordering and delivery platforms have also seen a surge in adoption by many restaurants. These heavily rely on technology for order processing and delivery logistics. Predictive maintenance is another area where AI shines, allowing restaurants to predict equipment maintenance needs, ensuring that restaurant appliances and machinery are in good working order. Finally, voice-activated devices have found their place in restaurants, taking orders and answering customer queries, making dining more accessible and convenient. In a nutshell, technology and AI have become essential tools for restaurants to streamline their operations, enhance customer experiences, and adapt to changing consumer expectations and market trends,” says Chef Mahendra Khairiya.
