I have lived in the UAE and India and loved my time in both the countries. Culturally so similar yet so different - Middle Eastern food culture is diverse with ethnic and exotic flavours while back home in India what amazes me the most is the spice play. My experience with food across these countries has shaped the way I cook. To me, cooking is the best kind of therapy - I enjoy cooking and entertaining friends and family over food and alcohol pairings. Because what's the next best thing to eating food? Sharing food!
