6. Invited Talk
By
Das Sreedharan

7. Das Sreedharan grew up in a small village near Cochin, Kerala, on the lush,
spice-rich south west tip of India. As a boy, he spent much of his free time
helping his mother in their vegetable garden and then in the kitchen,
turning the plants they’d grown into sumptuous meals and enjoying the
ultimate secure and happy, busy childhood.
As a young man, he moved to London to study accountancy, but food was
always Das’s destiny. After managing a vegetarian restaurant for a while,
he opened the first Rasa in 1994.
In just a year, Rasa had become the most famous vegetarian restaurant in
London. It won many awards and twice clinched the title of Time Out Best
Vegetarian Restaurant.Since then, seven new Rasa restaurants have been
added to the chain, and there are plans for more. They all offer wonderful
vegetarian dishes, but specialize too in their own unique representation of
authentic south Indian meat and seafood cooking.
Filled with such passion for food, it has not been enough for Das to stop
there.
To have good food, we need to respect the environment in which it grows.
Being part of this link between farming, gardening and cooking is to
experience something very basic yet very profound, something in this
world of ours that is good not only for each of us, but all of us at the same
time.
Das also owns and operates a beautiful riverside farm in Kerala which he
has converted into Rasa Gurukul, a centre for culinary excellence,
hospitality and culture to be open to guests for durations of however long
they wish, a place where people can learn many things, and through its
relaxed but deeply engaging daily schedules, to experience fundamental
happiness again. He is also leader of the Rasa Spice Trail Tour, in which he
takes guests on a culinary and spiritual journey around Kerala, and
regularly hosts an Evening With Das at his restaurants, an evening of story-
telling where he shares food facts and cookery skills, and where his
wonderfully thought-provoking take on life has inspired many.
