The culinary secrets of former American President Barack Obama and wife Michelle, George Bush and wife Laura, former Prime Ministers of UK, John Major, Hollywood stars and exes, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Bollywood actor-couple Rishi and Neetu Kapoor will be revealed on Indian TV in a show curated by celebrity chef Hemant Oberoi. In the past, the celebrated chef has personally prepared meals for these personalities and over time interacted with them over their favourite meals.

The Kapoors have picked ‘Pohai Chilli Chilean Sea Bass’ as their favourite dish, while the Obamas chose ‘Varqi Crab with Prawn’. The rest of the celebrity recipes are being kept under wraps and will be unveiled on the show, titled, Food Memoirs With Chef Hemant Oberoi, which will air on Living Foodz and showcase a total of 13 delicacies from around the world.

Rishi and Neetu’s mouth-watering dish involves marinating the fillet baine of seabass in salt, crushed black pepper and lime juice. The fish is then coated with refined flour, fried and coated with a paste of pickled pohai chillies, basted with butter, sprinkled with lime juice and served hot on a plate of orzo pasta. “The pasta is boiled till al dente and strained. Then, butter is heated in a pan and spinach tossed in it before the pasta is added. It is topped with chives cream which is a mix of sauteed onions stirred with cream and cheese to which chopped chives is added and blended,” explains the chef, admitting that Rishi is an absolute foodie and can cook up a storm in the kitchen when in a great mood.

The 65-year-old-actor is one of his most loyal patrons and when the award-winning chef took a sabbatical last year, Rishi had joked, “You’re retiring, so I will finally be able to lose weight!”
