On this episode of The Nightcap Podcast, Simon Alexander and Paul Foster sit down at Kanishka in Mayfair with Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar - a pioneer of modern Indian cuisine. Over a few drinks, Atul shares how food became central to his life, what it meant to be the first Indian chef awarded a Michelin star, and his vision for showcasing the unique flavours of Northeast India. From balancing authenticity with innovation, to navigating sustainability in fine dining, to surviving the true “boiling points” of the kitchen. Candid stories, culinary insight, and Atul’s top tips for cooking with spices.
