LUCHEE-THE FOOD STORY

An irreplaceable passion for food, an ardent desire to innovate, and a deep, fervent wish to revive lost recipes, ingredients and processes, sums up Sharmila Sinha, a food connoisseur and researcher .

Sharmila had started cooking as a hobby out of her love for cooking and feeding her friends. With the encouragement from her daughter- in - law, she turned it into a profession. 

Sharmila added another feather to her cap when she collaborated with a five star hotel and hosted a Bengali Food Festival during Durga Puja this year, named Chowringee. The idea of Chowringhee was to celebrate Durgotshob – the homecoming of Durga – and the cosmopolitan cuisine of Kolkata. The festival saw some unique, traditional, fast disappearing, as well as recreated and reinvented dishes that presented a gastronomical delight for the diners. 

Sharmila is continuously reinventing and reviving ingredients, and recipes to depict the endless food sciences and systems of our vast country; and each of her hostings bring out a fantastic story behind those ingredients and recipes. Her next ‘Luchee Food Story’ will discuss and eulogize our staples -- rice, wheat and then millets. Exciting visits to farms, meeting farmers will form the itinerary.

This is the time when warmth, life, sustenance, abundance, freshness start coming into our lives. The universe turns its face towards gro...

CR PARK SPEAKS JUNE 2025

READ CR PARK SPEAKS JUNE 2025 Click This Button Welcome to Joishtho – The Month of Nature’s Bounty Joishtho—the second month of the Bengali calendar and the final stretch of summer—is named after the Jyestha star, the 18th constellation. As the season ripens, nature steps into full bloom: trees burst into green, flowering plants blossom, paddies sway, and markets fill with juicy, water-rich fruits. It’s a time when Earth offers her abundance to all living beings. While Surya Dev (the Sun God) blazes down fiercely in many parts of the country, Indra Dev, the bringer of rain, isn’t far behind. This cosmic balance reminds us of a crucial responsibility: to protect and preserve this harmony. The best way to do that? Plant more trees. Let’s honour Indra Dev and keep Surya Dev in balance—green cover is the planet’s natural shield. Climate patterns are shifting before our eyes. In Delhi, for instance, the scorching heat often gives way to sudden thunderstorms, bringing...
