I began to step into the formal journey of culinary from the culinary college of Nepal Upon completion of the bachelor’s degree from college, I began to work in the kitchen department in some Hotels & Resorts. As time moved on in the kitchen, I started falling in love with the art of making food. I wanted to learn more, know more. I thought of continuing my formal culinary study, however, I wanted to keep sharpening my skill on fire & bowls. It was tough to work & study together, but I managed. In fact, I enjoyed it. In due time of two years, I completed an MBA Degree in Hotel Management & Leadership management. I do believe in hard work & dedication, and I know that it should be mixed with the spices of our passion. Sometimes I think that I am not only the chef who finely arts the foods, sometimes I feel that I am the delicious food on the plate, that is probably why I love what I am now.

However, the journey of mine is yet to go farther, I am ready to move on and accept the challenge. People say cooking is a tiring job, but I know once in love nobody gets tired of loving. It’s all about how we take our job. I do often tell my friend that I do not work in the kitchen, I date in the kitchen. The kitchen is like dating spots for me. I have dated my passion in many memorizing spots like Shangri-La, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, The Ritz Carlton, Kempinski Hotel Place, The Baros luxury Maldives, Seaside Finolhu Luxury Resort and currently I am dating my passion in You & Me by The Cocoon Collection Luxury Resort Maldives. Well!! While you date your passion, you should know the art too. I please my passion with the art of different cuisines. I have good experience with International cuisines like Italian, Mexican, Steak House, Seafood Restaurants & Japanese Asian Cuisine from various luxury hotels and resorts. I do love the ‘live cooking’ too. Making your guest smile with the fresh aroma of live cooking, it really gives you the satisfaction and feel proud of what you are doing. I have taken part in different live cooking competitions as well, Like Horeca Culinary, Hotel Asia Maldives and Emirates culinary salon, achieving gold, silver and best hygiene award from those.
