Although a teacher by profession, I love experimenting and learning new dishes. Amid the lockdown, I got a lot of time to spend with my family and cooking new dishes - everything from baking to cooking Mexican, Continental, Mediterranean and Italian. Never did I imagine, my passion for cooking would translate into a food venture. On sharing the idea with my family who motivated me to take this step. Today, my love for food has made me the proud Founder of Fingerlicks. I hope that someday this venture will turn into a big restaurant. Until then, I will keep my passion alive by working and keep serving the best food!
