Sameer Taneja - Escaping A Tough Life In Delhi To Pursue His Dream Of Becoming A Michelin Starred Chef In London!

Sameer Taneja has one of the most incredible stories we've ever come across; he was born into a working class family who were struggling to survive in Delhi in the 70s and had no connection nor interest in food, bar ensuring they could get enough on their plates to survive. However, Sameer fell in love with food and after finding a magazine with the legendary Pierre Koffmann on the cover, he vowed that'd he escape the country and move to London to become a classic french chef and eventually work for the great man. Well he was true to his word and after working for Chef Pascal Proyart at One-O-One he then moved to the iconic Waterside Inn by Alain Roux before eventually going to work for his hero Pierre Koffmann. However, not long after starting to work for Koffmann, the Chef approached Sameer and suggested that he stopped cooking French food and instead cooked the food of his Motherland, it made Sameer cry as all he wanted to do was impress Pierre; but this advise ended up changing his life and the London food scene forevermore.....
