Fat Is Flavour
A go-to gifting idea, Chef Pratik Kuckreja’s ‘Fat Is Flavour’ is a breath of fresh, chocolate-y air. The process to making the perfect cake for the customer involves a ‘cake interview’ which results in them getting a flavour that’s truly unique. By using clay pots sourced from local artisans and breaking the mould of a regular dessert, their Chocolate Soil is truly the talk of the town.
