When it comes to the culinary world, the Michelin Star is considered as the highest honour around the world. Recently, the Michelin Guide Thailand Star Revelation 2024 took place where two were awarded a second Michelin star, and one of them is helmed by an Indian chef.
The Michelin Guide Thailand Star Revelation 2024 took place on December 13, 2023, and as per reports, a second Michelin star was conferred upon Gaa in Bangkok, a contemporary Indian restaurant by Chef Garima Arora, which has made Garima the first female Indian chef to win not just one but two Michelin stars.
As per the official website of Michelin Guide, Garima's restaurant is traditional on the outside and contemporary on the inside. "Gaa's location mirrors chef Garima Arora's exquisite cooking: old-school at heart, transformed with modern techniques and presentation," it explains. The guide describes her cooking as "assured, understated and skilful." The guide further appreciates "the finely judged spicing, extraordinary flavour combinations and contrasts in texture and temperature" reflected in her culinary creations.
As soon as the news was out, celebrity chef Vikas Khanna took to Instagram to celebrate the proud moment. He even posted a short reel video of him with chef Garima. The post reads, "Today might be "one of the most historic days for Indian Cuisine on a global platform". Garima Arora was awarded 2 Michelin Stars by @michelinguide @michelininspectors making her the first female Chef from our country for this honour. Congrats to the brilliant team of @restaurant_gaa for making INDIA so proud. Proudest brother. V." Take a look at his post.
