Anuradha Madhusudhanan, Owner & Executive Chef, Tattva - Fresh Organic Kitchen
Anuradha Madhusudhanan has been working and researching on the harmful effects of the use of chemicals in food, both at the farming stage and the food production stage. These efforts have culminated in tattva, a real food initiative through which she has been striving to build a food culture that helps in bridging the gap between real, functional foods and the urban orientation towards gastronomy.
With a vast experience in music, art and food & nutrition, and management, Anuradha has been working towards a new lifestyle that actively advocates, through workshops and writings, and exemplifies, through tattva, the real possibility of living without the chemicals and poisons in our food culture.
Her research and experimentation have led her to invent the term Functional GastronomyTM, to exemplify a food culture that balances the form and the function of food.
She has published extensively on music, food and nutrition for leading newspapers and publications such as The Economic Times, The Hindu, BBC Good Food Guide, The Times of India, The Asian Age, Deccan Herald, among others.
