About Me and my website

My kitchen is my art studio. Instead of playing with colors, I play with

ingredients. Cooking is my hobby and my passion. For decades I have

cooked for my family, friends, colleagues, and anyone who shows up at my

home.

I was born in a vegetarian family in North India. My mother was an

excellent cook who paid attention to every detail and always insisted on

fresh ingredients. From a young age I enjoyed helping my mom in the

kitchen. I learned how to use spices and herbs to enhance the taste of the

vegetables, grains, and lentils.

After I married and moved to the United States in the late 1960s, my family

remained vegetarian because of our adherence to the Jain religion. One

of the main principles of the Jain religion is the belief in non-violence

to all living beings and the belief that we should “live and let live.” I am

passionate about this way of life today.

Nothing gives me greater joy than sharing the traditional cuisine of

India with you, in a practical format you can implement with ease and

confidence.

To your Indian culinary adventure,

Manjula
