Student finally upgraded from a dorm hot plate to a real kitchen. I grew up on Indian and traditional Bengali food, and now I try dishes way above my skill level just because I can. No matter how small my paycheck is, I’ll always spend it on good ingredients. Cooking is my love language, and my cat, Alu, fully supports this lifestyle.
