A Chef Who Went Back to His Roots
Once focused on European fine dining, Thomas Zacharias realised something was missing — his connection to India.
So he travelled.
He met farmers.
He cooked with grandmothers.
He learned from indigenous tribes.
And he found India again — through its ingredients.
From Prestige to Purpose
Thomas shifted from restaurant glamour to community-driven culinary work. His goal?
To honour the people who grow and preserve India’s food heritage.
Championing Local, Ethical & Respectful Food Culture
He speaks for:
- local produce
- indigenous wisdom
- farmer dignity
- sustainability
Not as a trend —
but as a responsibility.
His Impact
Thomas inspires young chefs to see beyond the plate — to the soil, people and stories behind it.
He represents purpose-driven culinary leadership.
