About Shivani

Hello foodies! I'm Shivani, the creative mind behind this culinary journey. My love for food blossomed in the heart of family kitchens, where the tapestry of evolving flavors and stories captivated my taste buds. Picture sizzling pans, the rich aroma of fresh bread, and a kitchen buzzing with the vibrant dance of ingredients.

My culinary exploration has included the diversity and simplicity found in both American farmers markets and the immensely colorful street markets of India. I've embraced the true essence of farm to table recipes and also been able to expand on them, cultivating a profound appreciation for the art of gastronomy. The roots of my passion take deeper hold when I think of family gatherings, where everyone, irrespective of gender, or age, eagerly pitches in to cook or prepare our cultural dishes for the next shared meal.

One vivid snapshot of my family's culinary legacy involves my great grandmother's traditional biryani. Imagine a massive pot filled with succulent goat, fresh vegetables, and aromatic spices, slow-cooking overnight in a deep hole in the ground, drawing heat from glowing coal. This age-old technique, passed down through generations, encapsulates the essence of my heritage and the often overlooked legacy of Indian cooking.

As I journey towards becoming a chef, my aspiration is to blend innovation with these timeless culinary practices. Whether elevating classic comfort food or crafting new recipes, my ultimate goal is to deliver an unforgettable food experience that pays homage to the traditions shaping my culinary identity.

In my culinary endeavors, I aim to bring forth a fusion of tradition and innovation, leaving an indelible impression on those who savor the diverse and delectable flavors I passionately curate.

Join me on a visual feast through my culinary lens, where every dish tells a story of culture, family, traditions, and the evolving art of gastronomy.
