Art on a Plate – Biennale Culinary Edit

A 7-course dinner by Chef Goku at Pepperhouse in collaboration with Rainforest and Rakkaudella that interprets Fort Kochi as an edible exhibition. Once the epicentre of the spice trade under the Perumpadapu Swaroopam, the island was shaped by Jews, Portuguese, Dutch, Mysore, British rule, missionaries, and coastal communities — each leaving a lasting culinary imprint. This menu translates those tides of trade, faith, migration, and power into flavour, texture, and form. Inspired by the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, every plate is conceived as an installation where spice becomes pigment and history becomes medium. A tasting experience where the harbour’s past and its art-filled present meet on the plate.

Date : 16th March 2026

A trip to remember. A pop-up to cherish.

Yak Trail — the story of the Brokpa, told through dairy, foraging and memory. What began as a journey into the highlands of Arunachal Pradesh— working with the yak herding pastoral community with our own famed cheesemakers @namratasundaresan and @ms_singhrajput, and expanding their pathways into modern cheesemaking — evolved into a table of stories @damusheritagedine. Each cheese, each ingredient, each dish, carried whispers of the mountains and the people who call it home.

Grateful for every hand that shaped this experience, every guest who arrived with curiosity, and every moment that made this more than just a meal.

Until the next trail… 🐾🔥

FOLKLORE BY CHEF GOKU
Edition 1: Culinary Offerings of Aadi

Powered by Pushpa’s Kitchen

Aadi is a season of rain, rivers, goddesses, and timeless food traditions. Across Tamil Nadu, communities gather to offer koozh to Mariamman, celebrate Aadi Perukku, honour village guardian deities, and share meals that mark the monsoon and the agricultural cycle.

This Virundhu brings together dishes inspired by these enduring traditions from across Tamil Nadu—not as ritual offerings, but as a celebration of the folklore, ingredients, and stories that define the season. Rooted in heirloom grains, country vegetables, and age-old recipes, each course reflects the deep connection between food, faith, and the land.

Date: 2 August 2026, Sunday
Location: Hanu Reddy Residence

Borderless Madras - By Chef Goku & Chef Nithya Franklyn

Powered By Pushpa’s Kitchen

This Pop up reimagines Chennai’s favourite street foods as if they had been born in another part of the world. What if bajji came from a Japanese izakaya, sundal from the beaches of Phuket, Atho/Bhejo from Spain, or Dhasamakan was in the souks of Morocco?

At its core, this is a celebration of Chennai’s extraordinary street food culture, a cuisine that has always welcomed influence, adapted with ease and evolved through migration, trade and cultural exchange. This dinner simply reimagines that journey taken a little further.

Padārtham: A Ingredient Story of Andhra Pradesh

A Seven-Course Tasting Menu by Chef Goku

Andhra Pradesh is often defined by its fiery cuisine, but its true culinary identity is rooted in the remarkable diversity of its ingredients. Nourished by the Krishna and Godavari river basins, embraced by one of India’s longest coastlines, and shaped by the forests and hills of the Eastern Ghats, the state has cultivated an extraordinary pantry of grains, pulses, fruits, seafood, livestock and spices for generations.

From the fragrant Srikakulam Chittimutyalu rice and the unmistakable heat of Guntur Sannam chilli, to the tang of Rayalaseema gongura, the richness of Kurnool ulavalu, the sweetness of Nandyal Banganapalli mangoes and Konaseema thati bellam, the freshness of West Godavari prawns, and the iconic flavours of Anakapalle avakaya, every ingredient tells the story of a distinct landscape and its people.

Together, these ingredients become more than a menu they become an edible map of Andhra Pradesh, inviting guests to experience the state’s agricultural heritage, biodiversity, and culinary traditions one course at a time.

Join Chef Goku on 19 July 2026, 7PM at Old Mirchi Bangla for an intimate pop-up celebrating the terroir, traditions, and remarkable ingredients of Andhra Pradesh through a contemporary seven-course tasting experience.
