We start our tour with Old Delhi and travel back in time to the 17th century when the city was called Shahjahanabad. Exquisite architecture and extravagance defined Delhi then and that also reflected in the cuisine that was elaborate and artful and represented the close living of many communities such as the Mughals, Kayashths, Baniyas etc.

We now learn how the British rule and years of partition altered the capital's culture fabric and food significantly. We learn about the influences on food during the British rule, the birth of a new cuisine of Anglo Indian food. We discuss the culinary journey of Delhi's food as we enjoy what is definitely India's most beloved beverage, which was popularised by the British.

Delhi saw an overnight transformation with the partition with Muslims fleeing the city for Pakistan and arrival of Hindu refugees. Our food walk then continues with the stories of partition in iconic dishes that have today become iconic transcontinental dishes.
