Some recipes bring back a whole lot of memories &mdash; the wafting aromas from your grandmother&rsquo;s kitchen, the first meal that you cooked or the first time you tried your hand at your mother&rsquo;s recipes.

As Indigo Deli turns ten, one of the elements that they plan to introduce as part of their ten-day celebration is to revisit some of the city&rsquo;s favourite classic recipes. &ldquo;At a meal with chefs and managers, we realised that when we eat, we choose to order the simplest of meals &mdash; those that have been tried and tested over the years &mdash; and classify as comfort food, like Shepherd&rsquo;s Pie.

It&rsquo;s when we thought that it would be interesting to dedicate a day at the Deli to invite people to sample some of these recipes, where we will stick to the old cook books and not tweak the recipes much,&rdquo; shares Jaideep Mukherjee, head chef, Indigo Deli. The special menu on June 28 will highlight forgotten classics such as the Minestrone soup, Camembert Souffl&eacute;, old-fashioned Carrot Cake, Bread Pudding, Blueberry Crumble and others.

Mum&rsquo;s the word &ldquo;I lost my mother last month. I realised much later in life, when I started cooking professionally, that my mother had a great flair for Western cooking even though she wasn&rsquo;t trained in that. The Red Wine Braised Deli Chicken Casserole is something I have grown up on. We didn&rsquo;t have wine at home those days, but my mother made a similar version. It was one of my favourites on many cold winter days in Jamshedpur,&rdquo; reminisces Mukherjee.

&ldquo;Recently, I have been looking through her cookbooks, and it has brought back so many memories of dishes that I had almost forgotten,&rdquo; he reveals, letting us in to a few more nostalgia-tinged memories. &ldquo;The regular bread pudding was special for me. It actually used to be a bread jam pudding, with lots of butter and jam. This session will be a tribute where we will attempt to recreate those memories and recipes for our guests,&rdquo; he elaborates.
The restaurant will host a ten-day celebration, with a different menu each day including burgers, breakfasts, a food truck menu as well as an opportunity to cook with Chef Jaideep Mukherjee, apart from free goodies and a deli-on-wheels that will make stops at different locations in the city.
