New Delhi: FOX Life launched an all new look of the channel, supported by a refreshed brand proposition and content line up. Continuing to inspire its audiences to live a fuller and more enriched life through unforgettable experiences and journeys, the brand’s new tag line of “NEVER STOP” is a way to remind them that there is always more to do, learn, experience and share.
Celebrating this very spirit, the channel launched ‘Masters of Taste with Gary Mehigan’ – a series that brings him to India to meet the top chefs in the country to get inspired by and learn from, and get an up-close look at some of their recipes, styles and techniques. Premiering on 26th February at 9:00pm, this 15-part series, which is also his first ever India production, will give an exclusive sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes-action at India’s best restaurants in true Fox Life style.
Elaborating on his experience and association with FOX Life, globally renowned Celebrity Chef Gary Mehigan said, “It’s been a super adventure working on Masters of Taste with the folks at Fox Life. Apart from it being my first ever Indian production, it allowed me to step down as an expert and get to be a student after a really long time! I met some of the most talented chefs in the country, learnt new techniques and made some incredible friends. It truly was amazing to see how the Indian gourmet chefs work with such finesse and make use of modern and cutting-edge techniques to create magic on plates for their customers. Fox Life is synonymous with new experiences, always urging the viewers to go and explore more and want more from life. A mix of travel, extraordinary food and a lot of surprises, this is surely one of those shows that epitomizes the brand’s philosophy and helps viewers re-discover the joys of great food and culinary experiments.”
The international food curator will be seen decoding exquisite innovative food concepts that are dynamically changing the consumption preferences, lifestyle and social scene in India. From food heritage walks to conversations and challenges with masters of Indian taste, the show will feature Chef Atul Kochar, Ranveer Brar, Saransh Goila, , Chef Kelvin Cheung, Chef Shantanu Mehrotra, Chef Thomas Zacharias and the culinary maestros Zorawar Kalra and AD Singh. The show will also see a lot of light hearted moments with the likes of Ileana D’Cruz, Nargis Fakhri, Vishal Dadlani, Purab Kohli, Cyrus Sahukar, Rohan and Gursimran Khamba of AIB, playing sous chefs to Gary.
