When chef Nidhi Mittal immigrated to the United States from India almost four years ago, she was seeking a better life for herself and for her family. Although the past year has posed many challenges for chefs, Mittal is confident in her new concept, Far East Pizza, a new ghost kitchen fusing Indian and Italian cuisines.
Many chefs say they’ve always had an affinity for food and cooking, but 40-year-old Mittal admits she didn’t pick up the skill until she married her husband.
“For the Indian housewife, it is expected that she knows good cooking,” Mittal says. “I was not that much experienced in Indian cooking, but I started learning, because my husband loves food. I started realizing that I can cook and that I love cooking.”
