Welcome to my blog! I'm an American married to a Kashmiri Indian. I have always loved to cook, inspired by my mother who owned a small restaurant for many years. To me cooking is an art, and the only art that involves all five senses. When I first moved to South Asia 15 yrs ago I was amazed at all the different cuisines and cultures from the high Himalayas to the island nation of Sri Lanka. After mastering many traditional Kashmiri dishes from observing my Kashmiri mother in law, I wanted to learn more dishes from all the different regions of the Subcontinent. All the recipes in my blog are easy to follow and are suitable for both beginners as well as experienced cooks. I often use modern timesaving techniques and appliances to get the same traditional flavors. All of my recipes have been tried and tested by me many times and have been served to my Indian family as well as at the many dinner parties my husband and I love to host.
