About
Jessi Singh is an internationally acclaimed chef and restaurateur celebrated for redefining modern Indian cuisine across Australia and the United States. Born and raised in a traditional Punjabi village, Jessi learned to cook alongside his family and in Sikh temple kitchens, where he volunteered from a young age, serving food through the Sikh tradition of langar. These early experiences instilled in him a deep respect for hospitality, generosity, and bold, home-style flavours.
