Govind Armstrong Facts

  1. As his grandfather was born and brought up in India, Govind and his siblings were given Hindu names. “Govinda” is the other name for Lord Krishna having the meaning of “goat herder”.
  2. His family used to have a big garden where a wide variety of vegetables were grown. This helped him get an understanding of the flow and cycle of food when he was a child and that in turn got him interested in cooking.
  3. His mother used to throw parties frequently. However, she was not great at cooking and Govind had taken over for her, catering to the parties when he was only 12 years old. He would have a lot of fun planning the menus, writing the grocery lists, going through the cookbooks and doing all the preparatory work. For the get-togethers, he would typically make simple finger foods such as mini pizzas, cheese soufflés with jalapeño, and soba noodles with shrimp and hoisin sauce.
  4. He has learned a lot from books. His mother had a wonderful friend who was a complete foodie and she had given him a huge number of books from her collection including very old editions of Larousse Gastronomic.
  5. He was only 13 years old when his talent was spotted by the culinary legend Wolfgang Puck who invited him to observe the action at the kitchen of his newly-opened restaurant Spago in West Hollywood. After that, his career took off in 1982, as an apprentice for Wolfgang. He spent 3 intense summers working at Spago and learning all the basics. He fell in love with the profession and realized he was destined to be in this field.
  6. His affable and practical nature has made him popular in the food world and much loved by everyone.
  7. He has been a fundraiser for Common Threads and has assisted in educating children on the importance of nutrition and staying fit and healthy. Share our Strength has been his other charity that has strived to ensure that no child in America ever goes hungry.
