  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

I’m a food lover from Mumbai. My passion is to take dishes, sweet or savoury from around the world and try to recreate them with an added twist. In my free time, you’ll see me binge on cooking shows or reading about recipes. I have an immense passion for both science and cooking, both involve experiments. For me, it’s all about the WHYs behind every ingredient, every dish. I am not a recipe follower. It's about trying ways to squeeze out as much flavour I can from each ingredient. Through my handle @Messy.Plate, I want to take everyone through my journey of cooking - from the research about the science that goes behind every dish to its final look.
