Food has the power to transport travellers into the heart of a destination. To mark International Chefs Day, Anantara lifts the lid on the kitchens of two chefs who use their craft to preserve culture. In Vienna, memories of a grandmother’s cooking inspire a modern interpretation of Austrian heritage in a MICHELIN-starred kitchen; in Phuket, Southern Thai ingredients become a gateway to the stars. Though separated by continents and culinary traditions, both chefs see food as a living archive, connecting travellers with the stories, people and places that define a destination.
