Meal Planning
By Prateek Hira
Planning a meal from an à la carte menu, especially when exploring a special cuisine unfamiliar to you, can be quite intricate. While restaurant menus often provide descriptions and even recipe snippets, they rarely offer ratings or guidance on the quality of dishes. This can lead to ordering less desirable options and potentially a disappointing dining experience.
Restaurants, as businesses, sometimes prioritise selling higher-priced or surplus items. When a staff member suggests a dish, discussing prices can feel awkward, potentially leading to unexpected expenses. While service staff are often skilled in sales and service, their knowledge of the specific nuances of a specialty cuisine like Awadhi can be limited.
Prateek Hira has extensively researched Awadhi cuisine through study and experience, regularly visiting various establishments and homes to compare authentic dishes with restaurant offerings. His passion, combined with his culinary education and travels, has made him a master of this cuisine. Described as a “foodie by interest and a chef by education”, Prateek would be delighted to personally curate your Awadhi meal in course servings within your specified budget. Additionally, he will arrange for any leftover food to be donated to those in need immediately following your lunch or dinner.
