My name is Bridget White-Kumar. I’m a Cookery Book Author, Food Consultant and Culinary Historian. I’ve authored 7 Recipe books on Anglo-Indian Cuisine. My area of expertise is in Colonial Anglo-Indian Food and I have gone through a lot of effort in reviving the old forgotten dishes of the Colonial Raj Era. My Recipe books are a means of preserving for posterity the very authentic tastes and flavours of Colonial ‘Anglo’ India, besides recording for future generations, the unique heritage of Anglo-Indian Cuisine. I take up professional assignments and conduct Cooking Workshops and Training Sessions in Colonial Anglo-Indian Cuisine at Restaurants, Hotels and Clubs and large hospitality houses such as The Oberoi Mumbai, The Taj Conemara Chennai, The Taj West End Bangalore, Vivanta by Taj Whitefield, Sujan Luxury Rajmahal Palace Jaipur Sujan Luxury Sher Bagh Ranthambore, Bow Barracks Bangalore, Bangalore Club,Ivy Unwind Resort Bangalore, etc I also assist in organizing Anglo-Indian Food Festivals and Culinary Events besides conducting Cooking Classes for small groups.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see find this site. I have family that were married in KGM, Oorgaum, India, in the 1890's. I was wandering, if anyone knows, how I could get hold of information regarding churches or schools in the area?
I really want to find out as much information about it as possible.
Kindest regards

This church is situated in such a serene area.Peace fills you when you enter the church. Wonderful architecture. I hope The pipe organ is retored.
ReplyDeleteI attended the church till 2002.
