Ayesha Motiwala Chara
The youngest food consultant of India is 14-year-old, Ayesha Motiwala Chara. Ayesha discovered her passion for cooking at the age of 8. In conversation with me, Ayesha said, “It is not that the life of a student is stressful today, I do everything I enjoy in my free time.”
She is an inspiration to all those youngsters, who are passionate about something but unable to see it through because of the lack of time. While most kids spend their leisure time in front of the idiot box or on Facebook, Ayesha said, “When I take a break from studying, I either practice singing or cook something.”
While browsing through internet for career choices, Ayesha came across ‘food consultancy’. “When I read the profile of a food consultant, I realised that it is something I have been doing for years,” she grinned. On discovering her strength, she decided to go online to connect with and help food enthusiasts.
“I discussed the idea of creating a blog with my family, who supported me in taking it forward,” she quipped. Further, she quotes that her alma mater, Emerald Heights International School, helped her in making and maintaining the blog.
She started her blog, ‘Cheff Ayesha Kitchen’ last year, and became a hit with foodies all over the world. She receives several queries in a week on her blog posts.
Talking about her future plans, she says she won’t leave her interest but wants to utilise all her skills. “My mother told me to consider position as a food critic, food scientist or a food technologist, since I am good at academics as well,” Ayesha said.
She adds that what makes a good chef is the love for food combined with passion to try something new. “I love to spoil family and friends by making special dishes and surprising them because it makes my day to see someone enjoying something that I made with love,” she said. She added that she loves experimenting.
She said, “I love to create recipes in my head and then test them on family and friends. Everyone enjoys the party and I get to share my passion with the ones I love!”
She concluded saying that one must discover one’s passion and take it forward despite any opposition, like her role model, Chef Sanjeev Kapoor.
