"I'm A Big Fan Of Mangoes Now": Celebrity Chef Anna Polyviou On Making Eggless Desserts For Indian Guests And More

Chef Anna Polyviou's energy is contagious. The popular Pastry Chef from Australia has been exploring various Indian cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and recently came to the national capital for a special high tea at The Claridges, New Delhi. Chef Anna knows how to blend sophistication with punk vibes, and the same comes to life in her dishes. Whether it is the sweet rose mousse packed with incredible layers of strawberry lychee compote, champagne gel and pistachio dacquise; or the golden tarlet with fromager custard, caramelised onion, and heirloom tomatoes -- Chef Anna knows how to give a unique edge to every dish.

When the chef works on crafting her desserts, she does so with utmost concentration, focus and clarity. Her love for food in general, and desserts in particular, can be gauged in no time. However, what Chef Anna loves the most joy is feeding people all things sweet, and bringing a wide smile to their faces when they enjoy the bursting and refreshing flavours of her desserts.

With the unveiling of this event, Lutyens Deli, nestled within The Claridges, has introduced its new high tea experience. The menu is carefully made by the chefs to delight everyone who tries it. It's a special treat for anyone who loves delicious food in a fancy setting.

We spoke to Chef Anna to learn more about her journey, her love for desserts since childhood, her tips for budding chefs and much more. Read on to learn more about the celebrity chef's delightful insights into the culinary world.

Excerpts From NDTV Food's Interview With Chef Anna Polyviou:

1. What is the best part about being a pastry chef?

With a smile on her face, Chef Anna says, "I think the best part is the opportunity to make people happy when they have a sweet treat. You know, like you saw, everyone's getting excited. It's an experience like no other and makes people feel really special when they're eating it. I think that's really what I love about it."

2. What are the challenges to being a pastry chef that perhaps no other chef faces?

"The weight, the waistline is definitely a challenge," Chef Anna jokes, adding on a serious note, "But also with savoury, you know, you can always adjust it and fix the problem. Whilst with sweet, that's it. Like, if you have weighted it wrong or something, you can't fix it, you can't go back to it. You have got to start over."

3. What's your favourite colour for a dessert? 

Not a big fan of dark-coloured desserts, Chef Anna shares, "I like berry colours, so I like the pinks and the purples. Because you don't want your dessert to be too dark. That's always like dark chocolates and stuff, not so much. I like fresh tropical colours. We see mango is a yellowy colour and then berries are like a pinkish-reddish colour. So I like those two areas. It pops out and it gets exciting. But I also love using natural green herbs to balance it out very well. And also edible flowers. I really like flowers, they're beautiful."

4. With more and more people embracing a vegan or gluten-free diet, how does it challenge you as a pastry chef?

Sharing her fresh experience from India, Chef Anna said, "I think it is really important. Like, you know, for example, I came to India and Conosh have been hosting me and have organised all these different things like a masterclass, but it has to be eggless. And I was like, oh, okay, but it's not a bad thing, it's just the way society is becoming, and we need to adapt and we need to meet the requirements of our guests. I think that's really important, and I think this time around I'm able to learn that. So we've done different workshops, different masterclasses with Conosh, and we made sure that it was eggless, and then if anyone had dietary requirements, we try to meet them."

5. Do you remember the first dessert you ever made?

Taking a trip down her memory lane, Chef Anna shared, "It would have been with my mum because she made me in the kitchen when I never wanted to be in there. I just remember her making cakes, and then she wouldn't let me lick the bowl and I was very upset and she'll take it away from me."

Talking about a special dessert made for her, Chef Anna added, "But I just remember when I was a good girl, she would make me a custard with cinnamon on top, in her glass Greek bowl."

"I remember the smell, I remember the fact that she used to make it for me when I was good, which was not often," she joked. "So when I did get it, it was a treat. I think that's why I really love custards."

6. What are your views on Indian desserts?

"I have tried so many of them and I love them. We went to a beautiful hotel when we first came to Delhi, and the pastry chef was Indian. And I always love seeing Indian pastry chefs in India. I think it's really important because for us in Australia, it was always the Europeans would come, and I always wanted to see people that live in Australia to be doing it," she emphasized.

Sharing her newfound love for mangoes, she adds, "And I'm a big fan of mangoes now because of mango season and everything should have mango in it. That's really good to see."

Chef Anna Polyviou

7. If you ever had to give up one dessert for the rest of your life, which one would that be? 

Knowing where to draw a line, Chef Anna expressed, "I don't like savoury and sweet together. I really am funny about that. I know sometimes it really works, but I can't process it. A sweet, for me, is a sweet. I don't want to have a savoury item that I don't like."

8. What would be your advice to budding pastry chefs?

Sharing her unfiltered advice, Chef Anna said, "I think for me, it's really important to be a sponge, you know, to absorb as much as you can information, also be around like-minded people, surround yourself with people that you inspire to be and people that really encourage you. I think it's a very difficult industry sometimes, and having people that really support you and love you and encourage is really important. But don't think you know it all. We all don't know it all. Just learn, learn, learn, learn. I still learn every day. I still ask the questions, I still read books, I still ring up a friend. So, that's really important."

7 Tips To Become The Best Dinner Party Guest Ever

Hosting a dinner party is not a piece of cake. You need to do a lot of preparations and pre-planning to pull off the perfect party that leaves your guests happy and impressed. On the other side of the table, a perfect party guest is the one who does more than just show up in their best outfit. If you want to be the kind of guest everyone loves inviting to all their get-togethers, here are some simple tips to make note of. Remember that a perfect guest does not overpower the host and steal their thunder, but rather compliments them to throw a successful party.

7 Tips To Become The Most Loved Dinner Party Guest:

1. Don't Arrive Too Late

A good guest is the one who always arrives on time. This way, you can also get some quality time with the host and make yourselves comfortable before all the other guests arrive. No host likes a late guest who they have to call up every half hour to check on their status.

2. Bring Some Gift For The Host

It is always a good gesture to bring a little gift for the host. If you want to splurge, you can get a bottle of wine or champagne. You can also get a nicely packed box of chocolate or snacks, maybe some ice cream for dessert or just a bouquet of pretty flowers.

3. Appreciate The Host For Their Preparations

You must appreciate the host for whatever you like at their party. It could be their cooking, their home decor, their outfit or any other thing that you like. It is a polite habit and the host will feel happy and contented after getting some praise from a guest.

4. Take Small Quantities Of Food In The First Serving

Sometimes, the host may fail to arrange a good enough quantity of all the dishes. Maybe they planned to get a limited quantity of a wide variety of dishes. In such a case, you must not take up too much of any particular dish. In your first serving, always start with taking small quantities of each dish you want to eat. Once everyone has been served, you can help yourselves with a second serving if you want.

5. Do Not Complain About The Food Unless Necessary

If the menu is not as per your preference, do not start cribbing. If the taste of the food is also not as per your liking, you may share your views, but be subtle and gentle about it. Do not start calling any dish "bad" or "not tasty". If you think some dish has gone bad, you should gently bring it to the host's attention without creating any drama.

6. Socialise And Don't Be Glued To Your Phone

A good guest is not just kind to the host but to their fellow guests as well. Live in the moment, enjoy yourselves and mingle with the other guests. Do not sit in a corner, reserved and scrolling through your social media, chatting with your other friends online.

7. Help The Host With Cleaning Up

A good guest always helps the host with the cleaning. No, you need not put on your gloves and start doing the dishes. But, you can always help in taking dirty dishes to the kitchen sink or helping with any other necessary errands throughout the party, depending on the needs of the host.

Viral Video Shows How Vodka Can Be Used To Clean Certain Types Of Clothing, Internet Reacts

Did you know that some people use vodka to clean certain items of their clothing? A recent video on this topic, shared by the official account of the Dutch National Opera & Ballet, has taken Instagram by storm. In the reel, Sanne Kamp, a dresser of the Junior Company, explains that she sprays vodka to clean some of the costumes used by the group. Wondering why? She states, "These tutus are handmade, so we cannot put them in a washing machine. So, we spray vodka on them. And that kills all the smell and the bacteria. And we don't have to send it to the dry cleaner." She specifies that she uses a plant spray to spray the vodka inside the costumes after they are worn.

Furthermore, she explains, "Vodka is not only nice for costumes. You can also use it on your own vintage clothing. After going out, I take my vodka at home and I put it inside my jacket." As she speaks, she matches her actions with her words. After spraying her jacket with vodka, she says that she simply hangs it and puts it in her closet the following day.

The reel has received more than 3 million views so far. In the comments, many people were fascinated with this viral 'hack'. Some spoke about their own success after trying it out, while others needed more details. A few also made humorous remarks about the idea of costumes being doused with vodka. For instance, one user joked that doing this would mean "You can suck the sleeves when thirsty..." To this, the official handle sportingly replied, "We do not recommend that before or during a performance..."

Read some of the reactions below.

"I have a vintage coat that I got at an op shop. It reeked of body odour in the armpits. I had it dry-cleaned. I aired it in the sun. I washed it. Stain remover. The only thing that worked was vodka."

"I thought she was going to say 'Vodka is not only nice for costumes, you can also use it to drink'."

"Take a shot then spray the costumes... multi-purpose."

"I use this in theatre - my favourite costume (and general fabric) trick. Vodka is cheaper than febreeze, and is chemical-free so the risk of allergic reactions is slim. Use unflavored vodka, and do not dilute."

"Works like a charm. I've doing it for years. Sneakers, jackets etc. Washing clothes a lot deteriorates them fast."

"I worked at a bridal shop and we would clean some of the dresses this way."

"So THAT's the order: first pirouettes, then vodka! I've always been doing it wrong..."

"When the clothes are the alcoholics in the family."

Cheese Conundrum: What Is The Difference Between Buratta And Mozzarella Cheese?

Soft, gooey, yummy, rich, subtle, delightful... I feel like I am running out of words to describe cheese and my love for it. Cheese is one such dairy delight that has zero haters. You can use it on pizzas, shred it over pasta, mix it into a soup to make it thick and rich or eat it just as it is, cheese is versatile and adds a depth of flavour. In India, one of the most popular forms of cheese available is mozzarella, the stringy cheese that makes pizzas oh-so-delicious! However, in recent times, another variety of cheese - burrata - has gained fame due to its buttery and creamy taste. Not many people know this but both these cheeses are made using the pasta filata (stretched curd) method, yet they are different. But how? If you have this and many other questions in mind, then fret not!

We spoke to Chef Parul Pratap from Music & Mountains Restaurant to answer this and other basic questions, that will make you feel like a cheese pro in no time!

Both Mozzarella and Burrata cheese originated from Italy.

1. Origins:

Mozzarella Cheese:

A hit amongst pizza lovers, mozzarella cheese is loved for its versatility and taste. Many people have wondered about the origin of this kitchen staple. Contrary to popular opinion, mozzarella cheese was not birthed in the United States but in Southern Italy's Naples. While speaking to NDTV Food, Chef Pratap shared that mozzarella cheese is made with Buffalo milk which gives it a rich taste of fresh dairy and chewy mouth feel.

Burrata Cheese:

A common sight in salads, burrata cheese has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique texture and taste. But did you know this cheese also originated from Southern Italy? Yes! Chef Pratap shared her knowledge about this iconic cheese's origination. Just like mozzarella, burrata cheese is also an Italian baby from the Apulia region. The only difference is that this type of cheese is made using cow milk.

2. Texture

Mozzarella:

With its smooth, elastic texture, mozzarella cheese is characterized by a pristine white colour and glossy surface. Chef Parul Pratap adds that mozzarella cheese isn't aged which is why it has a soft springy texture in each bite. In fact, when sliced, it does not lose its shape. This is why it works as a great ingredient for salads.

Burrata cheese has a creamy interior and rich flavour.

Burrata:

Did you know that burrata means "buttery" in Italian? It gets its name due to its creamy interior and rich flavour. The flesh of burrata cheese is actually mozzarella but its centre is most revered as it's filled with 'Stracciatella' - a mix of fresh cheese shreds mixed with clotted cream. So when it bursts open, Chef Pratap adds, the creamy cheese inside spills out and adds another layer of dairy goodness to the dish.

3. Flavour

Mozzarella:

Mozzarella cheese imparts a delicate, milky taste that serves as a canvas for other ingredients to shine. It is easily available in the market and you can spot it in one glance because of its semi-soft texture. Since it's mild in taste, mozzarella cheese can be used in a variety of dishes for a creamy texture that doesn't overpower other ingredients.

Burrata:

Burrata, on the other hand, is velvety and buttery when opened. Its creamy filling gives a subtle tanginess that balances the richness, and results in a delightful burst of flavours in the mouth. As compared to mozzarella, burrata is more pronounced and stands out due to its creaminess (and high calories!). In fact, Chef Parul Pratap echoes the same feelings about burrata since it has a rich and creamy filling of Stracciatella.

4. Culinary Uses

Mozzarella:

The first thing that would come to our mind when we hear the word "Mozzarella" is pizza. This type of cheese is readily available in the market in the form of cheese cubes, slices, or shredded, and can practically be paired with any dish. Whether layered in classic lasagna or paired with veggies in salads, mozzarella cheese complements each and every dish.

Burrata:

Just like mozzarella, burrata cheese can also be used in several dishes but its creamy interior elevates dishes to another level. Burrata cheese can be served alongside fresh crusty bread drizzled with olive oil or as a creamy addition to salads. "Since Burrata has become very popular across menus, it is found in a variety of dishes, ideally it makes the most sense in salads, pasta and even as a part of a cheese board but burrata can be found as a pizza topping as well," adds Chef Parul Pratap.

Is The Paneer You Are Eating Safe And Unadulterated? 6 Ways To Check It's Purity

Paneer makhani, paneer tikka, paneer bhurji and more - a mere mention of these delicacies is enough to make us slurp. In fact, let's agree that it is hard to resist a delicious paneer dish. One of the most popular food ingredients in India, the mighty paneer is equally loved by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians across the country. And this is why, you will find it making its way back to our dining table every now and then. But have you ever wondered if the paneer you are having is safe and pure? You heard us right. Today, with an increase of adulterated paneer in the market, it gets yet more important to check the purity of the food you are consuming.

Also Read: 7 Classic Indian Paneer Recipes To Try At Home

Why Is It Important To Check The Purity Of Paneer You Are Eating?

According to food safety expert Ashwin Bhadri, CEO at Equinox Lab, it is important to know if the food you are having is safe or not. "Adulterated paneer may contain harmful substances or pathogens that can cause foodborne illnesses. Moreover, consumers have the right to know what they are paying for and consuming," he said, adding that pure paneer also has better taste, texture and nutritional value, in comparison to synthetic ones.

Ashwin Bhadri further informed that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has put in place strict regulations to prevent food adulteration, especially in the case of paneer. "FSSAI states that paneer must have the following standards - no free moisture or water, milky-white colour, no extraneous colouring matter, a pleasant odour and a mild acidic flavour," he explained.

How To Determine If The Paneer You Are Having Is Pure? 6 Ways To Check Paneer's Purity:

The food safety expert highlights a few simple points to check, every time you are having a store-bought paneer.

1. Appearance Test:

He states pure paneer should have a uniform white or off-white colour with a smooth texture. If there are any discolourations or irregularities, it might indicate impurities.

2. Texture Test:

Squeeze a small amount of paneer between your fingers. It should feel slightly crumbly and not overly soft or mushy. Pure paneer has a firm yet tender texture.

3. Taste And Smell Test:

Pure paneer has a mild, milky aroma and a slightly tangy flavour. It could be contaminated if the paneer smells sour or has a strong odour.

4. Solubility Test:

Drop a small piece of paneer in a glass of water. Pure paneer will sink and stay intact, while adulterated paneer may dissolve or break apart.

5. Heating Test:

Heat a small piece of paneer in a pan without adding any oil or water. Pure paneer will release moisture and retain its shape, while adulterated paneer may melt excessively or produce excess water.

6. Iodine Tincture Test:

Boil a small piece of paneer in water, then add a few drops of iodine tincture. If it turns blue, starch or binders might be present.

Now on, check the paneer you get from the market before cooking your favourite dish with it. Meanwhile, here's a simple recipe if you want to avoid all the fuss and make paneer at home.
