Vandana Sethi was declared the winner of the Lufthansa Star Chef Contest at a zesty grand finale at The Leela, Mumbai, in which 12 aspiring chefs, selected from among thousands of contestants from across India, vied for top honours in a live cook-out contest.
Vandana won the battle of taste with her recipe for Khoye ki Subzi, which will now feature in the celebrated Star Chef menu onboard Lufthansa flights from India, and at select restaurants of the hotel chain.
The contest began as a unique talent hunt on the airline's India Facebook page to find the best original Indian recipe. The 12 finalists emerged through a poll of the best recipes, selected by the celebrated jury comprising master chefs Kunal Kapur, Surender Mohan and Thomas Brockenauer, all known for their culinary excellence and innovation.
