Asif Has Been Invited To The James Beard House

21 Spices By Chef Asif in Naples, Florida offers diners a chance to explore the diverse flavors of classical Indian cuisine through fresh seasonal ingredients and innovative culinary techniques. Now chef Asif Syed is bringing that culinary journey to the Beard House for a tasting menu that’s sure to add the perfect amount of spice to your night! - JAMES BEARD WEBSITE

Asif will be cooking in the James Beard House in NY Saturday November 16th at 7:00PM. I was lucky enough to get a ‘sneak-peek’ of some of Asif’s menu for the evening. And luckier still! able to take that Biryani home !

For this project, I was hired by Dimitrios Settos B3 Marketing to photograph his client Asif Syed’s food to be featured on the James Beard website in promotion of the event. (From 21 Spices Blog)
