Vegan, and obsessed with everything natural, healthy and yummy, Jane Mason moved to India from Australia, following her love for Yoga. A lover of good chocolate, she soon realized that finding good quality organic and vegan chocolate in India was a difficult, if not impossible task. And that's where it all began. She researched on chocolates, and traveled to meet farmers who could grow organic beans. That was the beginning of Mason & Co.

5. If you could have a tête-à-tête with any woman chef in the world, who would it be and why?
Jane: Kylie Kwong, being from Sydney Australia I had the pleasure of eating at her restaurant (Billy Kwongs) long before she became the famous TV chef she is now. The thought behind the restaurants, the food preparation and presentation is so unique. She was a pioneer in this modern & gourmet food seen in Australia. I actually didn’t like Chinese food before eating there.
