18th August:- Chef de Cuisine EdridgeVaz adds a Goan
gourmet flavour to the monsoons of City Beautiful, as he takes over the Dera
kitchens at Taj Chandigarh for a ten day food festival from 18th to
27th August 2017.
Having collected over a decade of experience while working at various
hotels like Vivanta by Taj–Panjim, he recently took over as Chef de Cuisine for
the Goan speciality restaurant Alegria, at Taj Exotica Goa. Chef Edridge played
a vital role in enhancing the menu at Taj Exotica, Benaulim and was promoted
from Demi Chef de Partie to Chef de Partie within a span of a year
The menu that Chef offers is a comprehensive collection of almost all
the signature dishes of Goa. Right from the very famous prawn curry to mutton
xacuti one finds it all on the menu. Vegetarian delights like potato cafreal
and tendli sukka and more will have you transported to the land of sand and
sea. Some very interesting and authentic dishes like chouris pao and Goan rice
must not be overlooked by those wanting to experience the local flavours of this port town. Those
with a sweet-tooth will be able to relish some authentic bebinca and dodol too.
While Chef has trained extensively, he does attribute the genuine
flavours of his dishes to his growing up in Chorao, a small town near Goa.
Smiling about the secret spices that his mother used, he tell us how he enjoys
making pork vindaloo a lot even today and rates it as one of his best and
favourite dishes.
Surinder Singh General Manager Taj Chandigarh is ‘always looking to
bring in new cuisines to the city’. Having spent enough time in Goa himself, he
is well adept with the various dishes on the menu and is very excited about the
festival. He goes on to state that ‘not only are the dishes cooked in authentic
spices for the perfect flavour, the music and ambience of the restaurant has
also been adapted in keeping with the region.’
Open for lunch and dinner, the Goan Food Festival at Taj Chandigarh
promises to bring in several gourmet delicacies from ‘the perfect holiday
destination.’
