Born into a family from God’s own country, Kerala, where food is taken very seriously, I grew up watching fabulous cooks at work. Recipes were handwritten in old diaries and recipe clippings from magazines and newspapers were neatly tucked away in folders. With my grandmother and my mother being avid bakers, I didn’t have to look far for inspiration. My baking journey began only after my marriage when I moved to the US for a while. An engineer by profession, I decided to stay home to balance the family after my first daughter was born. This year, with the lockdown in place I thought it a good idea to document my kitchen trysts with my two daughters.
