Hi! I am
How did it start?
I always wanted to share my recipes but never took the step to take it further. One day I stumbled upon my old post which I wrote more than a decade back and had forgotten about. That was the life changing moment for me and I decided to take my passion further and decided to start my cooking blog in 2019. Since then, I have never looked back. I love sharing my tried and tested recipes approved by my big critics - my kids and hubby.
What recipes can you find on my blog?
I was raised vegetarian and focus on making vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free recipes. On this site, you will find recipes about eggless baking, traditional Indian and global vegetarian and vegan recipes. I also have a sweet tooth and make a lot of desserts, all egg free. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of desserts on my blog!
All my recipes are tried and tested and approved by my kids and hubby. My son is a picky eater and my daughter is a foodie, so I have to make dishes that appeal to both!
Being a working mother, I know it can be a challenge to cook and eat healthily. My blog is focused on helping busy families spend less time in the kitchen and still be able to eat homemade healthy food.
I am glad that there are plenty of kitchen tools and appliances available today which make cooking an enjoyable experience. They not only make cooking easier by saving time and energy but also motivate to learn newer dishes or simply do things in newer ways. You will find recipes using small kitchen appliances like instant pot, air fryer and more on my blog.
I want to inspire others to cook and also be a source of help to my readers who are new in their journey of vegetarian and vegan diet.
What are my other interests
Apart from food, I love watching movies and I am a big fan of action and sci-fi movies. I enjoy playing with my kids and spending time with them doing fun activities. I am learning photography and all the pics you see on my blog are clicked by my hubby who is my biggest moral support.
