Alumni of The Week – Tarun Panjwani

“Don’t let your dreams be just dreams.” ⠀

Tarun Panjwani, chef, food stylist, seasonal TV Author for ZEE TV Middle East, recipe developer and a proud alumni of IHM-A believes in dreaming big.⠀

“I love telling stories through my food. A dish, for me, is not just a mix and match of ingredients but an avenue to pay homage to a nostalgic past while incorporating techniques and elements of the present. I share various signature dishes and the nostalgic anecdotes of my youth in India whilst also celebrating the beauty of U.A.E. and its great gastronomic talent.⠀

I have been featured on various social platforms including radio channels in Dubai, Local U.A.E. newspapers like The National Business, and renowned magazines in India and USA. Currently, I cook and teach easy recipes on ZEE TV Middle East under the segment: Pinch Of Health.⠀

IHM-a taught me about myself above all. It taught me my own strength and fortitude. It’s where I realised that cooking is my passion and that I ’de be a fool not to pursue it as my career in any capacity.”
