Originally from Mumbai, I moved to Madrid in January 2019 for my graduate studies. It has been one year and five months since I am in Madrid and stuck in lockdown for two months due to COVID-19. Rather than feeling awful about this situation, I took it positively by utilizing this time to do what I have been yearning to do since the past few years - cooking! Having grown up watching Nigella Lawson and Master Chef, I have had some serious interest in cooking. To the extent that I was almost on the verge of enrolling myself in a culinary school in Paris when I was 18. For several reasons I haven’t experimented as much in the kitchen as I would have liked, until now. I decided to put on my chef’s hat on day 1 of #MadridLockdown and go all out with my amateur cooking experiments. So here I am, still in lockdown, penning down my recipes for all those who want to be the master chef of their own house.
