Kitchen gardens have existed in many homes in the country as part of growing organic ingredients. But taking this concept and implementing it in restaurants has now become a new trend in the food industry. Gardens meant strictly for the purpose of adding more culinary value to the food have begun to sprout across the country. A name that brings this trend to the pink city- Jaipur is White Sage. The concept of White Sage is to give more power to the conversations that happen between diners over food. Food that has descended from international ethnic diversities but served with a casual and zen vibe.

Getting the ‘Fresh’ Part Right

In order to get the fresh part right, White Sage needed ingredients that were freshly plucked. The solution for that came in the form of partnerships fostered with a number of local farmers with the promise of empowerment. The idea behind White Sage was to produce the world’s gourmet cuisine created with a progressive and innovative approach of serving as fresh as possible. The experience brings together the faculties of Body, Mind, and Soul. And it has all become possible by growing, producing, processing, and serving the food, all in one place.

But Why?

There are many factors that created the inspiration behind growing a garden, specifically for fueling the demand created at White Sage. Serving glistening fresh food was one, but there are other driving forces behind it.

• Sustainability : To bring the food from the world does require a lot of innovation, but what really the world needs right now is sustainable progress in every field. White Sage was created along the lines of “Where Sustainable meets Artisinal.” While the artistic side is met by the warm decor, the culinary garden is a small yet important step towards sustainability.



• Footprint : As part of the stock of the restaurant, the White Sage’s culinary garden also helps in creating a smaller footprint towards contributing to the environment. There is no packaging involved that would later only be dumped, there is no transportation involved, and it gives everyone more oxygen to enjoy.

• Ambiance : It is basically a part of the landscape. White Sage is artistic in its own league, and the amazing, sprawling garden perfectly complements the interiors. As a guest, everyone loves the beautiful landscaping as they enjoy their food, prepared with fresh ingredients plucked from the same garden.

White Sage is an artistic space that exists at the plane where mindful meets modern. The place acts as the true embodiment of the phrase “Collaboration is the new Innovation,” bringing to Jaipur the accents of food from around the globe. As an extension of the best fine dine restaurant in Jaipur, Meraaki Kitchen, White Sage was born out of two brilliant minds coming together; Shivika Kothari, an accomplished interior designer, and Neha Deepak Shah, a national star of gastronomy.
