Top chefs at Restaurant Ikarus
Guest Chef February 2015: Vineet Bhatia
Vineet Bhatia came to London in 1993 with only his love for Indian cuisine and his passion for cooking in his suitcase. Since then he has procured several restaurants, is the first Indian chef to receive one Michelin star, has released a successful cookbook, recorded a TV series and is hailed as the face of modern, progressive Indian cuisine.
His recipe for success lies in his creations, because they do not adhere to the norms of traditional Indian cuisine. The combinations and contrasts of textures, aromas and temperatures as well as a practically infinite range of ideas are Bhatia’s own creations. His simple, imaginative dishes are based on an idyllic balance between innovation and the utmost respect for the art of Indian cuisine – for which he received his first Michelin star in 2006 with his Rasoi restaurant (“Kitchen” in Hindi) in London.
Each month at Salzburg’s two Michelin-starred Restaurant Ikarus, a different top international chef creates the menu. For this globally unique concept, Hangar-7 executive chef Martin Klein visits the cream of the crop, takes a look behind the scenes of haute cuisine, and is let in on some exciting culinary secrets. “Culinary Heights at Ikarus” offers a unique glimpse into the world of high-end cuisine and provides an interesting portrait of each guest chef, their culinary philosophy, and the food culture of their country.
