Top Chef Bio
Preeti works as an Executive Chef for Bon Appetit Management Company at Google's headquarters south of San Francisco and previously the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Born in London and raised in the US, Preeti's Indian culture, extensive international travel, classic French culinary training and access to the best local California ingredients inspire her cooking.
She enjoys building intense flavours, and truly shines when working with sauces, soups and vinaigrettes. Preeti's commitment to seasonality, and her relationship with small local farmers are at the core of her cuisine.
If she were a food, she says, "I would be a green zebra tomato – extremely distinctive from all the others, a little hard on the outside, but pure love at the centre."
