Hello all, i am Deepika, based in mumbai. Born in Maharashtrian family n got married with gujju jain guy. I was working as a HR personnel. My husband and I are very foodie. I left my job post delivery. I always tried food in various restaurants or on streets of mumbai, but never taken efforts of making it by myself. Recently due too lockdown, when everything was closed. When we were unable to fulfill our craving, i started trying various recipes at home. And my hubby started capturing pictures of whatever i cook.. so this way we have created our instapage herplatterhisshutter..
