Celebrity Chef Vikas Khanna Inaugurated The Centre For Indian Cuisine & Food Culture at MAHE in Manipal

Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna inaugurated a Centre for Indian Cuisine and Food Culture at the Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration (WGSHA) under Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) in Manipal on Tuesday.

The centre has been opened on a mission to place Indian cuisine firmly on the global culinary map. It seeks to create awareness on the profound relationship between Indian food, history, and culture. The centre will educate youth on the rich historical background of Indian cuisine, tracing its development over hundreds of years, exploring the science behind the use of fresh farm produce and the art of Indian cooking. The centre will research and develop new recipes and expand our knowledge of Indian food.

The WGSHA introduced the ‘Master of Arts in Indian Cuisine’ course in 2021 aiming at fostering a deep appreciation for Indian food’s historical and cultural significance.
