About Me

Growing up in the colonial capital of India, Calcutta- I have been fascinated by culture, creative and culinary splendour since a very young age. Not only has this made me a keen traveller, but it has inspired me to learn about people, places and food. It has led me to experiment in the kitchen. Living between Boston and Calcutta inspires me and continues to shape my palate.
