Johnson Ebenezer

Johnson Ebenezer’s kitchen sits on a 33-acre organic farm outside Bengaluru, where he manages tropical fruit orchards, hydroponic beds and a herd of native cows. The menu changes weekly, driven by what is ready to harvest rather than a fixed plan. Ebenezer trained in top international kitchens, but he brought back more than technique. He returned with a conviction that cooking should be tied to the land. Treating ingredients with the seriousness they deserve, Ebenezer’s work at Farmlore represents a career defined by patience, discipline and a clear philosophy. For a chef who has spent years refining his craft, this is a chef whose influence is poised to extend far beyond his own kitchen, with an approach to ingredient-led cooking that offers a compelling model for the future of Indian dining.
