ABOUT

Hello my beautiful friends! Welcome to my kitchen!

I am a mama of two beautiful boys, Rishaan and Rishay, wife to a loving husband, Parimal and a recipe developer. I grew up in Africa (Malawi), lived in England for 10 years and now reside in Canada, but culturally I am West Indian (Gujarati). 

Having literally lived in different parts of the world and tasted a vast variety of foods, I have a huge appreciation for different kinds of flavour. When I'm in the kitchen, I feel alive and this fuels my creativity  to develop flavourful dishes and research the best ways in which to create them.

​

I owe my love and understanding of food to my mom, Hansa, a renowned and authentic Indian cook, who has a sixth sense for flavour and technique! She allowed me maximum freedom in the kitchen from the young age of six and taught me to cook.

In Malawi I used to drag my dad to his clothing factory every Sunday, because the Sunday Nation newspaper had a weekly recipe! It was the highlight of my week! I would make the recipe if we had the ingredients, otherwise just think about how it would taste. By the age of 10 I made coconut coated marshmallows from scratch, bhakri (indian bread) for my grandfather, and caramel coated popcorn! 

Over time I have gained an understanding of what creates a delicious dish or baked good, I have learnt how to recognize flavours and how they belong together. My dad, Mahesh, has an impeccable understanding of flavours, so I grew up around delicious cuisine, a shared love for a good meal and harsh critics!

I want to transform everything I've learnt and share my passion by creating recipes to impress those that eat them! It is my promise that every recipe is created with care and love in easy to follow steps!
