We operate a number of verticals including Bespoke Catering, Easy Dining, Cookery School, Chef s Kitchen & Café s. CAARA believes in conscious food and therefore takes enormous care in where we source our ingredients. Whether it is fresh chemical free produce grown at our own farms or supporting local artisanal suppliers, we try to support local business as much as possible. Only when we can t source high quality products locally, we work with the best globally. It is with the same philosophy that we have created our menu for NicoCaara. A small plates menu focusing on fresh seasonal, local produce. The menu has been designed to mix and match and share together. You won't find blueberries from Chile but you will find cape gooseberries grown on our farm in New Delhi. Working with Indian and Asian produce means that we naturally shy away from ingredients like refined flour and sugar and work more with local grains as well as sweeteners like coconut sugar, jaggery and honey. Our menu is clearly marked to help navigate any intolerance, and those who are gluten-free, dairy-free will find plenty to enjoy. #NicoCaara nicocaara@caara.com caara.com nicocaaradelhi nicojournal
