As a young 13 year old, when we are swaying between career choices, it was either succumbing to family pressure of ‘become an entrepreneur’ or listening to my own heart that said ‘give cooking a shot’. Well I opted for the former.
Joining a business institute right after school, while having cleared some of the toughest hospitality entrance exams, I decided to make daddy happy and become a successful businesswoman. Took up an advertising job for two years, and I think I was pretty good at it. But one day, a spark set off in me and I knew that I just could not do this anymore. So, I quit my job, spoke to daddy and started applying to schools abroad to actually understand what the hospitality industry was and give it an honest shot. Well, to say the least, I found out that it was definitely meant for me. Something about being in the kitchen just gives me happiness. I could be cooking my favorite dish, entertaining friends’ requests or just experimenting with new flavors, but all of it just brought me peace and serenity. Almost like I was in a deep trance, away from the universe, meditating up on the mountains. As any food enthusiast aspires to, I dream of owning and operating a fine restaurant in the city I love. But all good things have a way of making people wait for them :P

Well ashes to dust, my love for food is so strong that I decided that if I cant have that restaurant I will just write about food. Starting from the basic ingredients, to family favorites, to international flavors, I intend to write about food that makes me happy and food that I feel you all should not miss out on.
What exactly are you going to find here… Everything that is food… Well almost everything. This is not just another webpage full of baseless recipes that sound good … but its more of an experiential food journal. The content here is based on my extensive travel and experimentation with food.
Enough about me … Lets get cooking!!
