Courtyard by Marriott, Gurgaon gives us a very palatable and delectable reason to celebrate our sweet tooth. At the onset of monsoon, when we are just recovering from the hangover of celebrating the king of fruits – Mango in a variety of desserts, Chef Amit Dash, Executive Chef Courtyard by Marriott, Gurgaon brings to table his flavorsome tryst with food innovation.
While the culinary circuit is abuzz with fusion foods and complex food innovations like molecular gastronomy, I rather loved the simplicity of the combination of foods chosen by Chef Amit Dash, which leave you stunned and smitten with an effortless charm.
Mango Basil Pizza
His idea of making his daughter gleam with joy after serving a similar dessert on her birthday led to the inception of the idea of dessert pizzas. His 3 month long experimental journey resulted in absolutely lip smacking 8 inches wide and delightful variety of pizzas ranging from a Mango Basil Pizza, Angoori Rasmalai Pizza to Sweet Chilli Pizza and Blueberry White Chocolate Ganache Pizza.
Nizami Nazakat Pizza
Nizami Nazakat Pizza – A delicious amalgam of our favorite Indian desserts – Rabri, Gulab Jamun and Boondi is an absolute treat to the taste buds. Blueberry White Chocolate Ganache Pizza – A combination that will linger on your taste buds for long. This variant is my absolute favorite from the list only and only because of the heroic choice of toppings. The classic Banana Nutella Pizza tastes divine with those chunks of caramelized Banana dipped in luscious Nutella. And to top it all, Mango Basil Pizza stands a class apart with the freshness of Basil and the voluptuous chunks of juicy Mango making their blend totally sinful!
