Tasting Success: The Cacao Business Ft Sanjana Patel- Director & Executive Chef- La Folie

Restauranteur, women entrepreneur, podcaster, and now an author, our host Gauri Devidayal, adds one more feather to her cap with her latest venture. Know all that went into giving the city of Mumbai, one of its finest restaurants, The Table and everything that followed in this tell-all book, Diamonds for Breakfast. In conversation with Gauri is Vishwas Kulkarni, the co-author of the book about the ups down and most importantly the why and how of writing it.

Disclaimer: It is everything but a cookbook.

Vishwas Kulkarni speaks about the book, right from the day of conceptualisation, the hiccups this project suffered, till it made it to the book stands for readers to finally grab a copy. Just like the tagline of the book, Coolest Stories from Bombay's Hottest Kitchen, Vishwas does not hold back in spilling the beans of the saucy and sweet journey of him penning the book alongside Gauri.

The book is available to order at https://foodmatters.in/product/dfb-book/

Diamonds for Breakfast Ft. Authors Vishwas Kulkarni & Gauri Devidayal

The last two decades have witnessed a renaissance of private member clubs across key cities around the world. This new genre of clubs which are referred to as urban city lifestyle clubs lie at the intersection of commerce, community, culture/content, and creativity. With increasing urbanization, growing prosperity, and an aspiration to belong to a community of likeminded people with shared interests, The Quorum seems to be addressing the gap in the market. 

Joining Gauri Devidayal on This Round Is On Me is Vivek Narain, the founder of The Quorum.

The Quorum, launched in 2018, is India's first homegrown work & social lifestyle club, it has two branches – in Gurugram and Mumbai and is set to grow further. 

Tune into this episode as he shares more insights on this subject, what made him dive into this niche sector and what’s in store in the near future.
