Try adding bacon to your French Toast, says Roshni Sood, executive chef at Poach Kitchen in Kolkata. With an extremely cheesy version of the French toast, this one comes loaded. This, she says, is the perfect way to elevate an average grilled cheese or French toast, and it also happens to be the best way for Sood to serve the dish. Photo Courtesy: Poach Kitchen Kolkata

If you love Italian food, then Pankaj Singh Tanwar, executive chef at The Westin Resort & Spa Himalayas says you can simply add bacon to a Spaghetti Carbonara, or at least that is what they like to do at the five-star property. Like Lasrado, he says bacon adds richness and deliciousness to pasta recipes as the saltiness and smokiness of bacon can enhance the taste of the pasta sauce.

At Araiya Palampur, executive chef Arun Kumar absolutely loves using bacon in his dishes. It is also the reason why using bacon with millet pancakes is the perfect combination; add some seared sole, pelati marinara and apple cider marinated lotus stem to it and make it an elaborate dish.
