From Michelin-starred kitchens in France to helming Mumbai’s most buzzed-about restaurants like Gigi, Lyla, and Scarlett House, today we have with us Chef Beena Noronha who has plated quite the journey. And to think she began in retail fashion.In this episode of InControversial, Chef 'Beenz' dives into her skillet from fashion to food, the chaos and charm of professional kitchens, and why she believes storytelling is just as essential as seasoning.
She gets candid about navigating a male-dominated industry, creating what she calls “fashionable food,” and building her lockdown-born Mangalorean venture, Makapau, from scratch.Add to this, a dash of celebrity stories, a spoonful of butter obsession, and a sprinkle of rapid-fire fun, and you’ve got a conversation worth savouring.
Listen now for a feast of bold choices, big flavours, and the kind of honesty that stays with you long after the last bite.
