Chef Gary Mehigan on what keeps bringing him back to India: It's a journey within

New Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI) "Devout and divine" is how Australian chef Gary Mehigan describes his latest trip to India which took him to different parts of the country and introduced him to the inseparable connection between food and festivals.

The culinary expert says he has been travelling to India regularly since 2010, but the pandemic brought a little gap. Now, he returns with "India's Mega Festivals", a series that explores this bond.

"I was looking forward to coming back and I got the call asking if I would be interested in a new series travelling around India, unearthing some of the best and most beautiful cultural experiences... I was like, 'Yes!' I've been chomping at the bit to come back after COVID and lockdown. And here I'm, back with vengeance," Mehigan told PTI in an interview here.
