On the Cover: Poached Cherries & Persimmon with Burrata by Akash Deshpande

In this edition of Jam Today, we have a conversation with Akash Deshpande, a chef, painter, and a true maverick in the kitchen. He doesn’t just serve up beautiful dishes; he weaves stories through flavour, texture, and reminiscence.

This zine dives into his creative journey, exploring how his passion for painting helps him slow down and find energy in his cooking. He transferred his understanding of colours from canvas to the plate and treated each dish like a piece of art. From transforming Van Gogh’s Starry Night into a custard masterpiece to breaking the traditional cooking norms, Akash shares his insights on how food can transcend mere sustenance.

It’s an in-depth look at how creativity intertwines, both on the plate and in life.
