On Saturday 12th July, chef and author Helly Raichura of Enter Via Laundry will venture to the Yarra Valley to collaborate with Maxwell Parlas, Head Chef and his team to create a six-course dinner featuring diverse culinary traditions of India with native Australian ingredients.

Many of these dishes will be taken from Helly’s recently released book, “The Food of Bharat”, paired with our wines at the TarraWarra Estate restaurant.

Helly, is a self-taught cook and the mind behind Enter Via Laundry. After a decade of working as an HR professional and missing the rich heritage of India, Raichura decided to share her love for regional Indian cuisine from her own home kitchen. She gained recognition and an extended waitlist for her restaurant with her intricate ‘pasta, not pasta’ khandvi dish as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia in 2020. She has co-hosted India Unplated, a cooking series on the SBS Food Channel, alongside Adam D’Sylva.

Swaying away from the stereotypes of Indian cuisine, Helly’s menu is from the deep knowledge of Indian cuisine and from her travels to the diverse regions and sub-regions of India. Aiming to preserve and reinvent the rich culture, practice, and tradition of Indian cuisine in Australia.
