India’s culinary story has never been one story. It is a tapestry of regional traditions, forgotten ingredients, ancient techniques, evolving kitchens and generations of cooks who have carried food memories across homes and communities. Now, as the global culinary world turns its gaze towards India, a new initiative by Chef Tours is asking an ambitious question: Who will carry India’s extraordinary food story to Paris?

Indeed, for nearly two decades, Chef Alan D'Mello has been on a remarkable mission... not to teach the world about Indian cuisine, but to challenge the very notion that such a singular entity exists. In his eyes, there is no one "Indian cuisine."
