It was a pleasure to both watch Chef Ashok cook and then dine on his creations. He has so much worldly cooking experience and it shows. French, Spanish, Indian, etc. My favorite was the chicken kabobs, marinated in spices and cream cheese, skewered with vegetables and then quickly broiled. So moist and flavorful. I need the recipe for that one. What a neat class space, in an actual school culinary classroom straight out of the 50's! Would definitely learn from Chef Ashok again.

Chef Ashok is a breath of fresh air in the stagnant world of east Indian cuisine in St Louis. His fusion dishes combine the scrumptious color and fragrances of the far East with the culinary magic of European bistros and the robust flavors of deep Americana. His dishes are playfully imagined and imaginatively played to surprise even the most astute palates. I always look forward to the unveiling of his new nuggets of tasty goodness. He is consummate in his pursuit of creating new experiences for his guests. The only way it's better is to see his wonderful smile light up every time he explains the construction of his masterpieces big or small. That shows his commitment to serve his food like a work of art which I think will revolutionize the world of fusion food once he achieves a stage worthy of his immense talent. I hope one day the world gets immerse their taste buds in his handiwork. #bucketlist #chefextraordinaire

Chef Ashok is full of passion and creativity. Each and every dish is so uniquely crafted with flavors from different regions. From Biriyani balls to Cutting Chai ice cream, itвЂ™s a fusion carnival yet each creation so authentic.

Came home to see that our good friend and new neighbor, Ashok, had drummed up an amazing platter of Indian meat stew simmered in southern spices and topped with and aromatic twist that only his brilliant mind can come up with. #withfriendslikethese #movewasworthit #indianchef #foodraconteur #palatepoet #hecancook Check him out for your next party and you will be the talk of the town!!!

Chef Ashok created an exquisite fusion meal for us based on all of our individual favorite cuisines. Mixing echoes of childhood delights with cordon bleu touches, the experience was a blast. This is what he excels at, the unique one of a kind experiential meal that makes a sweet memory. The photos donвЂ™t do justice to the flavors and the taste! Grateful tonight to sit down as a family and enjoy surprise after surprise after surprise! Golden juice, Truffle Naan Bruschetta, Kafir Lime Rasam Soup, A fusion of Kuzhi Paniyaaram/Kothu Parotta, Bottle Kaima Biriyani, Chicken Remoulade, Chettinad Salmon, Cajun T Bone Steak, Thayir Saadham Shots and Dessert Rasmalai Pannacotta, Death By Chocolate.

A lot of chefs can prepare a good meal but when someone cooks with passion and an eye for detail, it really reflects in the meal and that is what the Food Raconteur experience is all about. I call it an experience bcos thatвЂ™s what is... an experience to enjoy with all your senses, because itвЂ™s truly food for the soul. Thank you Chef Ashok for taking us on an enjoyable culinary journey
