  1. Hello Chef Saha,

    I’m the executive editor at TownTrendz Bengaluru magazine which we just launched on July 5th. It is about hyperlocal food and lifestyle. We are working on the August issue and I am writing on Molecular Gastronomy. I would like to feature an article on you and how you use Molecular Gastronomy techniques at Caperberry. Please consider my request and do get back to me on how we can take this forward.

    Thanks
    Shruti.
