My mom used to get frustrated with me in the kitchen.
Every day she cooked. Every day I told her — less salt, more spice, could be better.
She finally said: “Why don’t you just cook it yourself then.”
So I did.
At 17, my college sent me to a ski resort in Colorado. I was cooking for people on top of a mountain. That’s when I knew this was my life.
I trained in 5-star hotels across India. I worked in a Michelin-starred kitchen at the Four Seasons in Toronto. I was a head chef for 4 years before I opened Koshaa.
I came to Toronto with one goal — to show this city what Indian food actually tastes like when someone who trained their whole life for it is the one making it.
My name is Ushmeet. I am the chef. I am the owner. And I cook every sauce in this kitchen from scratch.
Save this if you want to know who is cooking your food.
