Food trend 2018: People more likely to try cuisines from lesser-known regions, says chef Marut Sikka

Wedding feasts leave a mark on guests long after the nuptials are over. However, like everything else in the wedding business, the wedding feast has had quite a shakeup.

In the last few years, cuisines from lesser known regions like Peru have been making an entry and Delhi-based chef Marut Sikka reveals that the trend will continue this season too, along with people veering towards "minimalist spreads".

"There is lot of emphasis on produce and healthier grains. People are asking for cuisines that are lesser known," he says.

For instance, a client travelled to a small Italian village and tasted a kind of cheese that's kept hanging off a fire, scraped off and then applied on bread. "The client wanted something like that. So, now we are trying to source it," Sikka says.
