Shaping a Culinary Legacy

Vir Sanghvi, the architect of this unprecedented gastronomic narrative, remarks: "Hindustan Times reflects the soul of India because it was founded to fight for independence and has spent 100 years capturing our nation’s triumphs and achievements." He adds, "The Taste of Time celebrates that journey. And who better to create food for the event than India’s most famous chef, Vikas Khanna, who has made India proud by excelling around the world?"
