Will is the creative behind Kricket’s unique and innovative cuisine. He was classically trained in London where he spent two years under Rowley Leigh. He subsequently moved to Mumbai to become Head Chef of a new European restaurant, winning multiple awards. While living in Mumbai, he developed a passion for Indian cuisine and culture. Upon his return, Will worked under Vivek Singh at the Cinnamon Club, where he became Sous Chef. It was after this that Will was able to combine his classical training with a knowledge and passion for Indian food, resulting in the creation of Kricket’s unique menus.
For this demonstration Will prepared tomato rasam pani puri and Bat & Ball Jaipuri mutton curry with smoked guntar chilli ghee. These dishes are on Kricket’s new menu, which was created following an inspirational team trip to India at the beginning of the year.
