Perfect Caterer

The kitchen gets really hot in the afternoons, especially during the summer months here in Kolkata. We are tucked away near Sodepur First Lane, right by the Haridevpur bus stop. It is a good location because the delivery vans can find us easily enough, though the traffic near the school gets a bit crazy when the kids are coming out. We spend most of our mornings chopping vegetables and getting the big pots ready for the day's work. My hands usually smell like garlic or onions even after I wash them three times. Being near Sodepur School means we see a lot of parents and students walking by all day. We have been doing this for a while now, just cooking and packing food for different events around town. It is not a glamorous job at all. There is a lot of heavy lifting involved with the big degchis and gas cylinders. Sometimes we run out of something last minute and someone has to rush out to the local market for a bag of salt or extra spices. The floor is always a bit slippery from the steam and grease but we try to keep it as clean as possible. We aren't a big corporate company, just a small team working out of this space in Haridevpur. Most of the time it is just chaos in the kitchen but the food gets done and we send it out on time for the parties.
