He says that India is 'rich in history' and this man with his charming smile is none other than the famous David Rocco. He talks about the 'power of food'  and his love for Naples the land of 'Pizza' and fresh sea food.  

When I ask him why he had chosen India as his destination he says that he wants to learn from the country which is 'rich in history'. He believes in using 'fresh local ingredients' and you my readers should not have to wait too long before Food Network Canada, TLN and National Geographic air David Rocco's Dolce India Season II for David Rocco's Dolce Vita for its 5th season which covers Goa, Kerala, Kolkata , Kashmir and Delhi.

Sneak Peak at West View's Grills 

ITC Sonar has teamed up with David Rocco to present an evening of gourmet delight which would see a beautiful amalgamation of Indian and Italian elements on the 16th of March 2015.

Chef Mayank , executive Chef of ITC Sonar who has been in the industry for over 24 years believes in innovation yet his firm stand on tradition is what makes the innovation seem like its carrying a part of history itself. He firmly believes in the power of ghee and he gives his reasoning as well . You see ghee 'absorbs trace materials' not to forget its incredible power to enhance flavours and give a magical twist to dishes that it is used in. He shall team up with our man from Naples for the segment on Calcutta to create innovative dishes which use the best of Indian and Italian elements to create magic on the plate.
