Moxy Mumbai invites you discover ‘Cooking Wild: Nature on the Plate’ – A Culinary Collaboration with Chef Michael Swamy

Mumbai, November 2024: Moxy Mumbai, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s distinctive portfolio, is excited to present an extraordinary dining experience ‘Cooking Wild: Nature on the Plate’ in collaboration with celebrated chef, photographer, and author Michael Swamy. This exclusive pop-up, running from November 22nd to 25th 2024 at Moxy Mumbai’s Moxy Kitchen, will take guests on an immersive gastronomic journey that captures the essence of nature’s ingredients, inspired by landscapes and seasons, with a story woven into every bite.

For Chef Michael, food and water are the paints on nature’s vast canvas, with each plate capturing the beauty and richness of the landscapes that inspire it. His creations showcase seasonal, locally sourced ingredients that connect guests to the earth and celebrate the deep relationship that farmers, fishermen, and artisans share with the land and sea. This culinary journey explores not only flavors but also the historical paths of Spanish and Portuguese traders who introduced spices, fruits, and techniques from South America to Asia. Reflecting these influences, the dishes combine Indian cuisine with global flavors like chilies, cacao, and potatoes, infusing them into a fresh culinary tapestry that bridges cultures and continents.

Guests will experience Chef Michael’s signature approach, blending traditional techniques with modern methods, inspired by the everyday lives of toddy tappers, fishermen, and indigenous artisans. Each dish celebrates this heritage, using wild herbs, coastal ingredients, and artisanal methods that capture a unique authenticity. Expect bold and unexpected combinations—perhaps a wild twist on a classic coastal dish or the subtle use of indigenous herbs that honor nature’s rhythms. Chef Michael’s creations aim not only to delight the palate but also to inspire reflection on sustainability and our connection to the natural world.

“Cooking Wild” is more than just a meal—it’s a call to view nature as a collaborator. Each element on the plate serves as a reminder of balance, respect, and sustainability. Guests are invited to savor each bite not just as a culinary treat but as a gift from the earth, a reminder of our duty to live in harmony with nature.
