In Conversation with Atul Kanade, Executive Chef – The Fern Shelter Resort, Palghar

The significance of tableware and glassware in enhancing the dining experience.

At The Fern Shelter Resort in Palghar, tableware and glassware play a crucial role in crafting an unforgettable dining experience. Each piece, from the elegant plates to the finely crafted glasses, is carefully hand-picked to enhance the visual and sensory appeal of the meal. The resort’s dedication to detail ensures that the table setting complements the culinary offerings, making every dining experience both luxurious and memorable for guests.

Before choosing the ideal table setting for glassware, what key elements should be taken into account?

The choice of glassware at The Fern Shelter Resort is meticulously curated to match the nature of the beverages served. For instance, the resort uses wide-bowled glasses for red wines, allowing for better aeration, while slender, flute-like glasses preserve the effervescence of sparkling wines. The glassware’s weight, clarity, and design are crucial factors, ensuring that they enhance rather than distract from the dining experience. Similarly, the resort’s tableware features varying sizes, shapes, and material tailored to complement specific dishes, courses, and cuisines ensuring an aesthetically pleasing and functional presentation and experience.

Could you please shed some light on the latest innovations within the glassware and tableware industry?

The Fern Shelter Resort is at the forefront of integrating sustainability into its tableware and glassware choices. We use eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo and recycled glass, aligning with the resort’s broader commitment to environmental responsibility. Innovations in the industry include biodegradable options and energy-efficient production processes. By merging contemporary design with sustainable practices, the resort not only delivers a refined dining experience but also contributes to environmental conservation.
