Maria Goretti's Culinary Collaboration with White Owl Brewery

Mumbai, November 2015: Culinary Collaborations is a special limited Edition Beer Pairing menu that has been lovingly curated by Chef Dinesh Bherwani, executive chef of White Owl Brewery, in association with Ms. Goretti. The menu, which includes Maria's East-Indian style Prawns and Chef Dinesh's Charred Bhavnagri Chili, has been paired with fresh, artisinal craft brews from White Owl Brewery. As it is a limited edition menu, it will be available only at White Owl Brewery between November 18 and December 18, 2015.

November is a time for celebration and merriment. It's the perfect time to bring together family and friends and spend time with the people you love. When you add some great food and fresh brews into a gathering, it is guaranteed to be a truly memorable time. So to make sure your meal is as special as we can make it, we got celebrity chef and food enthusiast, Maria Goretti to come help us out. What happened when Chef Dinesh Bherwani and Ms Goretti started working on the menu can only be described as magical and after many days of experimenting and trials, they have produced a menu that is a paradigm of the two of them. It effortlessly brings together Chef Dinesh's skills and Ms. Goretti's creativity and palate to create a menu that is both experimental and approachable.

Since the menu is so close to their heart, Maria and Dinesh have taken every care to ensure that the food served is authentic and delicious. Maria's East-Indian Prawns are made with a special Goan vinegar that is made by Maria's father. TheOutlander, a Munich Lager with it's moderate sweet malt flavour, mild spicy aroma and moderate-light body, is the perfect companion to the dish as it enhances the tang of the vinegar and the slight bite of the kashmiri chili. Having been brought up in Africa, Chef Dinesh is very fond of African food, and when they realized that Maria loves African food too, the Chicken Babootie was immediately put on the menu. When paired with the Diablo, an Irish Red Ale, the Babootie gets an little fancier as the brew has a mild caramel & roast flavour that pulls the beautiful golden raisins into the spotlight and the mild roast aroma of the brew combines with the luscious egg custard and minced ginger making every bite exceptional.

The Burnt Marshmallow & Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich pays homage to all of our childhood fantasies. The decadent dessert, that could only have been cooked up by two foodies who are self proclaimed chocoholics gets an adult twist when had with our English Porter, Shadow. The strong roast & mild chocolate flavour, add a bitter-sweet dimension to the dessert, while the strong roast aroma, gives you a rich and satisfying end to a beautiful meal.

Chef Dinesh was very excited about the prospect of working with Maria and creating this menu.

"I loved collaborations. I love the challenge of taking two different opinions and combining them together. The outcome is always very special and I walk away from every collaboration having learned something new. Working with Maria was an absolute treat. We clicked almost instantly and even with our very different approaches to food, we just remained in sync. Maria's passion is infectious, she lives and breathes food, so you can't help getting drawn in."

Maria is in the midst of launching her new cookbook "From my kitchen to yours", but she was so keen to do this project.

"For someone like me, who got into food so late, it was a complete pleasure. It was very exciting to collaborate with Chef Dinesh on this Culinary Collaboration with White Owl Brewery. Since I make home style food, I was so excited to see my food and Chef Dinesh's food meet at a place and be served to people who walk into the bistro. Chef Dinesh is a wonderful warm person to work with and I think that the more you exchange ideas and the more you learn, it's always nicer in life and as for me I learnt a lot out this collaboration and I'm happier for it. "
