This surely feels like a milestone I have to share here. It was a privilege for us a family to witness @eshaan_15 receive his Degree in Engineering from University of Manchester this week… They say it takes an entire village to bring up a child, thanks to all our friends and family who have been on this journey with us. You know who you are 🙏🏽🌺👍🏽🫶 I can’t believe how quickly it’s come around, hasn’t it @archana_vsingh 😀 Although you may not agree! So Proud, and thank you 😍 JBIt was great to have family around to mark this occasion and especially wonderful to have my Mum join us in Manchester for it. Times like this remind me there is so much to be grateful for 🫶🙌🙏🏽🌺***#gradulation #family #cheflife #gratitude #chefviveksingh #friends #university by @chefviveksingh

RulesRules they say, are meant to be broken. Earlier this week I broke an unwritten rule ( entirely of my own making - I hasten to add😃) for the first time in 25 years. Ever since early days, my team and I had decided, we will never ask a guest, no matter how famous they were, for a photograph or an autograph ( in those days) as we respected their privacy and wanted all our guests to feel we treated everyone the same. It’s didn’t matter if one was a PM, or a high ranking minister, a head of state, a writer, actor or musician- in the Old Westminster Library, they were all the same. Earlier this week, I broke this rule for the first time after Vir Sanghvi and his wife Seema visited The Cinnamon Club for the first time for Dinner. I asked Vir to have a picture together. I have long been an admirer of Vir’s journalism, his writing even when I was living in India, but in the last couple of decades what Vir has done for Indian food, restaurants, hotels and chefs is extra ordinary. He has properly shone the light on our great industry and brought it front and centre of the lifestyle pages through his writings and columns. No one I know has done more to make our industry ‘seen’ more - even better to feel seen🙌Both Vir and I remarked how incredulous it was that he hadn’t been before, but very happy that we had put this right! Our 25 year celebrations feel complete now😃Thank you for joining us 🙏🏽Thank you @asmakhanlondon for reminding Vir of Cinnamon Collection’s 25th Anniversary! by @chefviveksingh

Quality is never an accident. It’s always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. I have long sensed a connection with @byanandprakash and his Bookmarks through his design, its expression and execution particularly on metal…. I have been familiar with some of his work over the years through my frequent travel to India. Anand Prakash Designs have always conveyed quality, intention and most importantly an expression of India that moves the narrative along from the pre-conceived versions that existed. The last part is the bit that particularly resonated with me, as it’s been at the heart of everything I have believed and we do @thecinnamoncollection over the last 25 years! So when the team decided to mark our celebration through a limited edition book mark last year, it took us no time to decide who we would partner with. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to meet with Anand Prakash in person and it turned out that he is every bit as I had imagined and more! We had very good conversations around creativity, design, material and giving back! Pls ask to see the commemorative Book mark when you visit any of our restaurants next! by @chefviveksingh
