A food knowledge sharing community.

I have spent most of my life travelling across the globe, poking my nose into chefs' kitchens, extracting recipes, and learning from some of the best cooks in the business. All of this, through a lens of health and nutrition, long before it had become a fad.

Over time, along with a brilliant team, and backed by a credible brand like NDTV, I had the opportunity to create, design and then run India’s #1 food and nutrition website. There was a fair amount of trial and error, plenty of experimentation, and the occasional happy surprise. Every now and then, a combination would emerge that felt both nourishing and delicious, and those were often the ideas worth holding on to.

That, more or less, is how I think about food. Healthy food need not be tasteless.

Today, we live in a world where you can’t have a conversation without including AI in it. Recipes can be generated in seconds. Nutrition advice arrives by the minute. Yet the things that matter most in cooking remain stubbornly human: instinct, experience, memory, taste, and the stories we share around a table.

I feel it's so sad, so bland, and if I might add, tasteless.

Food, my passion thankfully needs to be felt, smelt, touched, knived, ground, mortar-ed and pestle-d, you get the gist. In this ever evolving crazy world, I wish to hold on to simple, touch, feel and smell; that’s what I would like to share in this space.

Come join me, engage with me, and let’s immerse ourselves in a world that must be savoured.
