This award is a no-brainer. Those of us who follow chefs always knew that Manish is a genius. But ever since he won Foodistan, became a public figure and featured in Indian and foreign media, Manish has finally broken through, winning the fame that is due to him. (For the record, I first gave him this award some years ago before he became famous).
Here’s why I rate Manish’s modern Indian food so highly: he does not rely on toning down the spices, reducing the gravies and Frenchifying the food. Instead, he approaches each dish with a fresh eye and some of his creations demonstrate real culinary genius. It helps also that he is a genuinely nice guy, one of the least egotistical, most humble chefs I know. And fame has not changed him one bit!
