I'm Mae and I look forward to share these yummy, spicy and flavourful recipes with you. Although I lived my early childhood days in Bombay, we moved to Goa and after my marriage, finally returned to Aamchi Mumbai. My mom is an excellent cook and she honed her skills with my super-talented Dad, who has worked in the hotel industry. Thanks to him, we were introduced to world cuisine. Unlike my parents, I was not so passionate about cooking until I married a foodie. It is then I realised how fulfilling it is to cook for someone who loves eating. I would often imitate my mom and dad's recipes. After a lot of trial and error, I can proudly say - I am almost there. I enjoy cooking because that’s where you make LOVE edible and visible - the main ingredient to a perfect dish. As the lockdown continued, so did my role as a housewife - lovingly cooking for my sons and husband. Now with a little push from my friends, I began blogging too!
