You are hosting new season of Kitchen Champion 4? What brings you back to the show? Basically, the show has an interesting concept and that's what brings me back. There is a lot of brand value attached to the show. I have hosted all three seasons so that is reason enough to return to Kitchen Champion 4. Besides that, I find the concept interesting, and I get to work with twelve beautiful girls and engage in the fun idea of the show. It gives me a chance to be myself and to show the audiences the real and fun self of Ronit Roy. |
What are the moments you remember from the earlier seasons? There are several ones. There is not a single moment that I didn't enjoy. I feel Kitchen Champion is laugh-a-minute show. We all have fun while shooting, even if we are cooking or announcing scores. Everyone who participated in the last three seasons has been great fun. It's not a serious cookery show where the chef rustles up one recipe after another, so it has a cool connect with the audiences too as they learn a recipe while having fun. |
What do you enjoy most about doing the show- boosting the morale of contestants, watching them slip or when they achieve their goal? I am with the contestants every step of the way. I can't say I enjoy this or that more than the other. I feel all kinds of emotions when they finish a task well or get top scores. When I was offered Kitchen Champion, I was surprised by the offer but soon I was enthusiastic about it. Today, I am looking forward to for the fourth season. |
Can you cook? Yes I can. I am a major foodie. I love eating and I even enjoy cooking. I love experimenting with flavours especially. KC has been a totally different and a novel experience for me as a cook and an actor. |
What dishes have you tried your hand at? I tried making tea and toast when I was about 18. Later, I tried omlettes and got them right after many attempts. Gradually, I tried different dishes starting from simpler ones. Even today, if I have some free time I cook a dish or two. I love shopping with my wife Neelam for exotic food items. I enjoy making variety of risottos. |
What are your favourite dishes? Whatever my mother makes!! She makes yummy Bengali recipes both veg and non veg. Her Bengali daal and cabbage cooked in a curd base are on top of my list. Among other dishes, I love Thai curry with rice and Rajma-chawal. |
Which eateries do you frequent? I love the food at Spices, J W Marriott. The spices are always blended well. Penne is another favourite place for superb Italian food. I also frequent Indigo Caf in Lokhandwala |
