Cooking for me is not just a hobby that gives pleasure, it is therapeutic. From spending long hours reading the recipes to curating my own; from toiling in the kitchen preparing the new and unheard dishes to try dedicatedly to master the classic and lost one's textbook style – this is what defines me. From a human resource professional to a homemaker, my lessons from the kitchen have helped me in whatever role I take. An attitude of constant learning, putting in hard work, never giving up, not taking short cuts, believing in my product, being open enough to bring in creativity are a few to mention. One may catch glimpses of my food journey that I regularly document on Instagram @bithi.bhargava or watch my videos on my Youtube channel, Memories of March.
