Chef Tejal Choksi
Chef At Home in New York
My food journey reflects my life – a kaleidoscope of flavours, geographies, and experimentation leading to unexpected but delicious outcomes.
I was born in Hong Kong into a family that lived to eat, travel and most of all to share. At an early age, I wanted to recreate the essence of the places I had visited, and so I taught myself to cook, to bring variety, discovery and sometimes a chance coming together of ingredients to surprise my captive family and friends with unexpected successes.
Moving to Bombay in my 20s, I longed for the flavours from home and wanted to share them with those around me. This turned into my first venture, The Cantonese Kitchen, bringing the essence of Hong Kong using locally sourced ingredients to create dishes to intrigue and excite.
In parallel, The Secret Supper Project, an underground supper club and Savor, an events company with gourmet lunch service, was my opportunity to continue the experimenting with no limits.
Next stop, Singapore, where I continued to create in clients’ homes and workplaces and now, the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York.
