His recipes and techniques were passed on to him by his Mom and Naniji (grandmom), who were both adept in the kitchen. His learnings from Mom and Naniji were seasoned with decades of culinary training experience. But when he creates dishes, he always returns to the basic --- home, family, love. Chef Yan started baking when she was 7. The pans were still heavy for her hands and the oven too hot. But her Aunts - her first teachers - were there, coaching, coaxing and encouraging her. After years in Manila, Malaysia and Singapore, culminating with her training with the best pastry artisans in France, she comes back, bakes her first cake home, and names it after her Aunt --- home, family and love. We don't claim to be authentic. Because our meals, were also passed on to us by generations of cooks and bakers, and from mentors we were lucky to meet, all throughout our careers. What is authentic is the type of ingredients we use. We use the best that is available in the market. We source only from the most reputable. We are authentic also in making sure that the ingredients we use are cooked in methods that best enhance their flavors. When you come home, we will take you along a mix of two strong food cultures, Indian and French. And when we serve you the food, we do it the French way --- pleasing to both the taste buds and the eyes. When you come home, some entries in the menu might not sound familiar. But the moment you start chewing your food, everything is easily recognizable, because home, family and love, are always familiar. LA MAISON PUNJAB is our HOME, where you can bring your FAMILY, and where your food is cooked with LOVE, always with LOVE.
