We now take much pleasure in introducing you to a young student who will grace the concert stage on 4th Dec …

Meet piano student Diya Shrivastav and her dad, international chef and restaurateur – Daman.

Joined by his 9-year-old daughter Diya, Daman put his years of experience at top kitchens like Oberoi, Sheraton, and ITC into delicious, nutritious food for the needy in the time of Covid.  “We focus on food that is balanced, healthy, and easy to consume. Our menu includes pastas, easy bakes, casseroles, and a good mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, elaborated Daman. “At the end of the day, whether someone is a king or prime minister or homeless, we all deserve nourishing food.” At one point in his career, Daman did in fact cook for a king, Hussein bin Talal of Jordan, but it’s just one laurel in his long culinary journey.
