CULINARY - A Word That Changed The Face Of The Hospitality Industry

Have you ever come across anyone who has said that “I don’t like good food & want bad or average food?’’ Bet not! Good food is one of the few things that is common & liked by everyone on this earth. Dr. Milind Peshave, Professor from AISSMS College of Hotel Management & Catering Technology shares his words about culinary field and Culinary in Hotel Management Colleges.

 

 

 Culinary- A unique art of preparing & cooking food

The last couple of decades have unfolded the journey from a Cook to a Chef. The culinary industry has seen some futuristic changes that differentiated these two terms- Chefs & Cooks. Today, Culinary Schools are at a very nascent stage in India and more focus is on generic hospitality education. However, this specialized culinary education is on the rise globally, paving the path for establishing state of the art Culinary Schools for nurturing the future culinary wizards. 

Culinary in India

India being one of the fastest growing economies of the world also has an advantage of the demographic dividend.

Considering the weight of the hotel industry in the GDP, if India has to grow in the near future, it has to lay major emphasis on the growth of the Hospitality and Tourism industry. The demographic factor also favors this growth. Food is the majorly consumed commodity in the entire world and especially if you relate to the younger population that India is heading towards, the food industry is a major participant. Once in place, this step will create ample opportunities for chefs to curate newer recipes to fulfill all the changing preferences of Indian youth.

Without a doubt, the diversity of food in India is phenomenal which demands more conservation by the culinary schools. By nurturing the Chefs in Indian cuisine, Indian culinary can be beautifully treasured & at the same time create an ocean of opportunities for the aspirants of Hotel Management.

 

Culinary in Hotel Management Colleges

Majority of the culinary schools across the globe focus on European cuisine. Yes, it has been in fashion for a long time but trends are changing and this change has to be captured by the culinary schools by designing more practical modules. AISSMS College of Hotel Management & Catering Technology is one such autonomous HMCT college that offers a holistic education with a lot of emphasis on practical exposure. So it’s a great opportunity for Indian Culinary schools to take upon this time now. Infact, this won’t remain stuck to Indian glory but also attract the foreign talent to lay their hands on it.

My New Found Friendship With Social Media

Ms. Prachi Wani, Assistant Professor at AISSMS College of Hotel Management & Catering Technology shares her journey from Orkut to Twitter. She mentions her experiences with all the social media platforms in between and now considers them as her friends. Read about her new found friendship in this blog and know some interesting experiences she keeps adding humorously.

Mark Zuckerberg said,“Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now." and her journey to the techno savvy platforms begins.

 

Experience with Orkut

As said Orkut - the father of Facebook. She was fascinated by the way Orkut actually worked where She found her life’s first “fast friend”. Orkuting then (like googling now) was the only new thing happening in life apart from the routine & busy hotel life. They did not have WhatsApp by that time. So meeting all those lost and found friends through this social media site was mind blowing. 

Experience with Facebook

Everything was different on FB, as it had more to offer and had a wider range of applications. FB started growing very fast and with every new friend request (that she was getting) made her feel famous and she actually thought people knew her. She started allowing others to enter in her personal space by posting photos and her views on various issues. 

Experience with Instagram, Twitter and Youtube

This was the phase when for the first time, She logged into newly introduced friends Instagram, Twitter and Youtube and her phone welcoming them all. Her friendship with them started blooming. She was so new to the quick entry of this technology that it was difficult to handle it initially.  But now today her friendship has gone to a level where she meet all these portals almost every day.

Why I prefer a small hotel over a star hotel by Dr. Rasika | AISSMS Organization

The feeling starts the moment the car enters the parking lot. My car remains unchanged, it is recognized as it enters. Balu is deployed in my service from that moment onward. The greeting is indeed warm, whatever is the length of absence. The feeling of homecoming overcomes you in the parking itself. 
My choices, my favorite dishes, my favorite person to serve all taken care. Just like at home. The hotel is small yet ultra clean. The feeling is warm and homelike. Now, why would I prefer any other place for my stay when I have a home away from home?
