Born in Varanasi, India, Chef Srishti's love of cooking was sparked by childhood trips to the farmers market with her grandfather, studying vegetables and developing an eye for beauty in ingredients. Her experience spans culinary institutions like Per Se (★★★) and The Modern (★★), as well as NYC Thai hotspot, Fish Cheeks. Chef Srishti's cuisine is rooted in classical French-American technique, woven through with Asian influences—Thai, Japanese, and beyond. She approaches every dish as an edible painting: seasonal, intentional, and crafted to be as beautiful as it is delicious.
