Rendezvous by The Chambers has long been a stage for culinary mavericks to showcase their genius. The most recent edition, held in Mumbai and Delhi in July beginning, was graced by chef Jacob Jan Boerma, the magician behind the three Michelin-starred De Leest in Vassen. True to his reputation, the menu curated by Boerma showcased his unique take on simple yet diverse ingredients, most of which are locally grown and available. Be it the humble tomato or eggplant or even the regular cauliflower, these simple ingredients were skillfully elevated by Boerma, who presented them in his classic innovative style. While each dish clearly seemed complex in its making, boasting different textural elements, the true indulgence was the simplicity and familiarity of the flavours.

　　But there's more to the man than the gastronomical wonders he has pulled out of his chef's hat. From revealing his current food philosophy to remembering his days as a young chef, Boerma took us behind the scenes of a illustrious career in conversation with OT.
