My name is Seema Banu. I am a resident of Bengaluru. I am a Quality Analyst by profession and a home chef by passion. My other hobbies include reading, book-hoarding (realized that it is a different hobby very late in life) gardening (not good at it yet) and learning languages (getting there). As a person with high-functioning anxiety, I found a great escape with cooking, because, that is the only thing I am not overthinking about. As it keeps me engrossed in things completely related to food and it stays within my kitchen boundaries. I always challenge myself to recreate recipes that are not a staple in my family/region. I now have realized that cooking, which is usually a part of my daily routine, is not boring after all. Because, planning and preparing a completely home-cooked meal is intuitive, emotional, and inspirational.
