PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry has sought to propagate the liberal intake of slow food (good, clean and fair food which is directly sourced from Mother Earth) in every nook and corner of the country to revive the consumption of seasonal traditional food to keep India healthy and physically stronger in the globalised economy.
Speaking at a discussion on the concept of slow food under aegis of the Chamber in New Delhi, its president Gopal Jiwarajka did not only make the aforesaid observation, but also called for the promotion of food tourism with special emphasis on the revival of indigenous and traditional cuisine, as their usage and consumption are almost fast disappearing.
The event witnessed a host of chefs from leading hospitality chains, such as ITC Hotels, Taj Group and JP Hotels assemble under the umbrella of the Slow Food Chefs Alliance. It was unanimously agreed that in the age of increasing consumerism, indigenous foods, with the aroma of their multiple spices and traditional cooking applications, had vastly dissipated.
Therefore, the revival of traditional foods was the need of hour to keep India healthy. With the country’s farmers and their produce as directly associated with the movement as with their participation in it, the food would not only be tastier, but also healthier, with all the seasonal produce of domestic agriculture as well as horticulture.
The views were expressed by the participants in the workshop, including Rajdeep Kapoor, executive chef, ITC Hotels, and president, Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance; Gunjan Goela, corporate food consultant and vice-president, Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance; Rahul Wali, chef at a restaurant practicing slow food; Puneet Jhajharia and Ishira, co-founder and director respectively, Crop Connect, and Anuradha Goel and Saurabh Sanyal, chairperson and secretary general respectively, Women and Child Development Committee, PHD Chamber.
