It was a privilege to interview chef Kainaz Messman of Theobroma Patisserie India for #foodocracyforher on #finelychoppedTV. A show where I speak to women entrepreneurs in the world of food and beverages, to learn from their inspiring stories and to share them with you.
I could tell you about how Theobroma, a tiny cafe that she and her mum snd her sister opened at Mumbai’s Colaba in 2004, ha grown to be a brand that is present in four cities today and has 50 plus outlets, the latest being in Hyderabad.
I could tell you about her brownies, cookies or even sourdough breads, which have many so fans today, and of how the range has expanded over the years.
Or I could tell you to read the book, ‘Baking a Dream,’ which she has written with her sister Tina Messman Wykes, to find out more.
What I would urge you to definitely do, is to listen to Kainaz speak as she is not only very skilled at what she does, but she is a very centred and compassionate person.
During the chat, she shares what she has learnt through her years of experience in building a big brand from what was once a home chef venture; that too after having to give up a dream job as a chef at the Oberoi Hotels after a back injury!
You don’t want to miss this one!
