A
Kiwifruit Master class
A day full of Surprises, Indulgence and
Sheer Culinary Delights
We
say fruit is healthy and we should eat it every day, we say Mango is delicious and
it is the king of fruits. But how many of us love Kiwi? I definitely do. Until
few days back, I didn't knew that Kiwi can be put into use to so many things from crafting lip-smacking desserts,
thirst quenching mocktails, delicious snacks and ever classy dipped in a glass
off white wine.
Zespri
International, the world’s largest Kiwifruit marketer, in association with ITC Gardenia
delighted food aficionados with a special master class recently at ITC
Gardenia. Yogen Datta, Executive Chef,
ITC Gardenia demonstrated innovative and quick ways to add a zesty twist to
everyday cooking with Zespri Kiwifruit.
Food
enthusiasts like me were given a first-hand experience of putting together
these quick yet exotic dishes, which was followed by the tasting of the
delicious and refreshing menu ranging from beverages and appetizers to mains
and deserts. Some of the intriguing creations were Carpaccio of Kiwi with
silken Tofu, Rucola and Kiwi & Rosemary Salsa; Sushi with a Kiwi twist,
Kiwi Bruschetta and Coriander & Black Pepper tossed Kiwi Cheesecake. ITC
Gardenia’s mixologists also created two special cocktails – Kiwi Sangria (white
wine muddled with kiwi and other exotic fruit) and a Kiwi Caprioshka.
Speaking on the occasion, Yogen Datta, Executive Chef
of ITC Gardenia said, “ITC Gardenia is pleased
to partner with Zespri to create an innovative and exciting range of culinary
delicacies that seek to bring out the essence of this delicious fruit. By
adding a twist to traditional recipes, we want to introduce new textures and flavours
and create a truly delectable experience for food connoisseurs.”
Mr. Ritesh Bhimani, Country Manager, Zespri
International-India adds, “Zespri Kiwifruit is a
refreshing fruit with nutrition more than most other fruits. Most people are
unaware of the versatility of the fruit and how it can be incorporated in our
daily diet to boost our health – there’s something for everyone. This
association with ITC Gardenia is a positive step towards this direction,
wherein we want to increase awareness in a fun, engaging way. ”
