"When an American Chef willingly sets foot in an Indian kitchen, insists on training under an Indian woman and takes on the interminable challenge of introducing Indian food to the west theyre either irrational or awfully brave."
Bruite Magazine India
Chef Keith Sarasins love for food was developed at a young age when he would cook for his mother using old cookbooks that were given to him by his grandmother. He began his culinary career at the age of 15, working at a local sub shop washing dishes and making sandwiches. As the years went on he worked his way up through the restaurant ranks, from Sous Chef to Executive Chef. Sarasin was a private chef before founding The Farmers Dinner in 2012.
