I got my love for cooking from my Grandmothers who introduced me to amazing Bengali food. I love making traditional recipes ones that tell a story about our culinary past. Cooking has given me a creative way to let out the stress of my work life. When I cook it’s my time and I put on some music too! It’s also healthier as we live lives of no proper food timings at least one should try to eat right. It is also a great life skill to develop.
