After nearly 9 years of working in the corporate jungle, Ankit quit his consulting job and went to France to follow his passion: to train as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu, and train at the 3 Michelin-star restaurant, LâAstrance.  Upon his return to Sydney he started the hidden kitchen www.jaune.com.au  (mystery, degustation dinners for up to 8 guests).
Changing tracks a little â our global food system is a âlittleâ funky. Few interesting points and observations â we certify âreal foodâ as organic and let pesticide sprayed food get away, we waste food at every step of the food life cycle, we disregard the planetâs resources used in production/consumption of food and some people donât have enough food, while others are eating too much â madness!
Together with his amazing mum, he launched a social enterprise, Eat Me Chutneys, small batch, hand-made, absolutely epic chutneys and pickles made right in sunny Sydney. Because Eat Me Chutneys wants to change the world, one jar at a time!
