‘Rohit
Bal requests the pleasure of your company to a private dinner at Veda,
Connaught Place, with some of the top women Michelin Star Chefs from around the world on the 8th of September 2015, 8.30 pm’
So
if a foodie family gets an invitation like this, what do you do? You confirm
immediately and that’s exactly what I did too!!
THE BACKGROUND
Celebrity
Michelin starred female chefs are in India this September to partake in a new
initiative '40 Girls to 40 Chefs' that goal to support and provide prospects
to underprivileged young women into a livelihood in the food industry. This is
part of Creative Services Support Group's (CSSG) second edge of 2015 fixated on
women empowerment - the Hospitality Training Project (HTP) - to provide them the
chance for a significant vocation in the Hospitality sector. As part of
this program, the young women have been enrolled in a set of culinary courses
at a school in Delhi and will be subsequently employed in the industry through their
partners. And what better way than to have eight of the finest women Michelin
starred chefs from across the globe to come together and not just curate the
most gorgeous and interesting food but, take on the responsibility to
personally supervise, narrate and communicate applied training to the young
girls as they board upon a new expedition in their lives. CSSG has also
received support from the renowned Rohit
Bal and Emmanuel Balayer who
are designing the high profile charity dinners ( the likes of which have never been seen before – a first even on a
global scale ) which will be hosted at the Four Seasons in Mumbai and
The Leela Palace in Delhi. The renowned Opera Group – Divine – who performed at
the Nobel Prize Banquet in Stockholm along with Damien Whitely, have entire
heartedly reinforced the initiative and will be performing at the Dinner together
with a Jazz performance. All in all, a great cause to educate the girls into
becoming the handpicked of chefs at par with some of the best in the
world.

Slovenia, Angela Hartnett, Frances
Atkins & Lisa Allen from the UK, Anita
Mu-Jiuan Lo and Carrie Helen Nahabedian from the USA, Lauren Eldridge from
