After getting eliminated in final week of MasterChef Australia, Rishi Desai's indisputable talents in the kitchen - aided by his chocolate boy looks - has earned him a fan following not only Down Under but also back in India, from where this Kolhapuri chemical engineer originally hails.
So it was only natural that his cooking demonstration at Godrej Nature's Basket in Bandra last week would be populated by a predominantly female audience who had the pleasure of watching Rishi recreate some of the magic that made him a strong contender in the MasterChef kitchen.
