CHEF OF THE MOMENT
It takes wild creativity to create culinary wonders. After all, Picasso, Beethoven, and others had one thing in common: creative madness! In the same vein, Sanjana Patel, executive chef of La Folie, is obsessed with the craft of French chocolate and pastry making. Well on her way to becoming a culinary legend, she gained experience under the tutelage of “the Picasso of pastry” Pierre Hermé, as well as Alain Ducasse. Seductive and delicious, Patel’s elegant gastronomic creations are bound to entice. www.lafolie.in
