Wife gifts husband a 'Chef' Experience


Feb 12th 2009.

When Shantala called us and asked if she could 'gift an experience' - a chef experience to her husband for his birthday, we thought 'She gets to be the first nomination for iReboot's best wife award!'

Flowers, chocolates, clothes, accessories are all passe! It's time to 'gift an experience'.

Rahul arrived at 7 PM to Herbs and Spice. iReboot's official chef mentor and restaurant owner, Manjit Singh handed him an apron and off they went, to cook dinner for the guests that evening.

Herbs & Spice is a restaurant on 80 ft road, Indiranagar, which serves excellent continental food.



A picture is worth a 1000 words, A video is worth 10000 words - so I'll let them do the rest!
