Meet Uttam Singh
Chef Uttam Singh is one
of two Indian chefs from Delhi, in the North of India, plying his trade with Recreation Africa (at Misty Hills Country Hotel, Conference Centre & Spa and Kedar Heritage Lodge, Conference Centre & Spa). His culinary journey
commenced 17 years ago in Mumbai, India where he started working at the Ramee
Guestline Hotel.
Mumbai's culture is a
blend of traditional festivals, food, music, and theatres. The city offers a
cosmopolitan and diverse lifestyle with a variety of food, entertainment, and
night life, available in a form and abundance comparable to that in other world
capitals. Mumbai's history as a major trading centre has led to a diverse range
of cultures, religions, and cuisines coexisting in the city. This was an
absolutely great place for Chef Uttam to “earn his stripes” if you will.
Chef Uttam has a wife
and 2 kids and he moved to South Africa 8 years ago. He has been with the Recreation Africa group for 2 years now. He specialises in
Mugalai food, Indian and Tandoori and he even dabbles in “Indian Chinese” food
which he says is a spicy take on Chinese food. Apart from his love and
expertise in the Indian cuisine, Chef Uttam enjoys other flavours from other
cultures such as Mexican and Thai food.
Chef Uttam is an avid
cricket fan and enjoys watching the Indian Premier League (IPL) where, even
though he ought to be rooting for the Delhi Dare-Devils (at least from a
geographical perspective), he is a Chennai Super Kings fan because, as he puts
it, “they are simply the best!”.
