Celebrities, they are just like us. Only richer and more popular. But apart from that, just the same. Well, most of them are. A recent tell all interview by chef Hemant Oberoi, who has served the who’s who of the political, social, and glamour sphere at his restaurants Zodiac, Yantra, Wasabi, Souk, Masala Art and Masala Kraft, reveals some really interesting food secrets about celebrities. For instance, did you know that former US President George Bush likes his biryani in a jar? Yep, read all about that and more below.

 

  1. Neetu Kapoor & Rishi Kapoor

The popular Bollywood couple has been friends with Chef Oberoi for a long time. According to Oberoi, the Kapoors are also really fond of great food, with a special inclination towards the meats. “They love their soufflés and lamb shanks. Neetu loves the fish.”

This former first couple were served by Chef Oberoi during their India trip, which was equally memorable for both the parties. “I thought it would be a different experience for them and served Indian food. But, it was not the normal Indian food. Some dishes were created especially according to their taste, and they cherished it.”

From one former POTUS to another, Oberoi has had his fair share of celebrity diners. For Mr. Bush, the chef wanted to serve up classic Indian food but with a slight difference, which he did by layering an impeccable biryani in a jar. And needless to say, it worked wonders. “The jar works best for layering the biryani and helps in enhancing the flavour and aromas of the spices. People eat with their eyes first and making a dish visually appealing is a job half done.”

 

The Food Maestro

Oberoi has had a long-standing career in the culinary world, with his first gig in 1986 at the Taj Mahal as the youngest trainee chef. There has been no looking back for the chef since. “Cooking is a science, and then an art. If you understand the science well, then you’ll understand everything that follows”, the food expert said.

He has cooked for an impressive roster of people including the likes of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, former Prime Minister of UK, John Major, Margaret Thatcher, George and Laura Bush among many others.
