Hi Foodies!

I’m Pipi, and I’m beyond excited to welcome you to my cozy corner of the internet – my blog! Here, I wear my heart on my apron, and I can’t wait to share the stories, recipes, and foodie adventures that I have experienced.

Growing up with roots in one culture and growing up in another the meal table often bridged the gap. Food made it easy to connect to others when I often felt pulled into two different worlds.

Little did I know the impact of spending time in my Aunt’s kitchen or family dinners would inspire this love of cooking years later.

I learned at an early age the impact food can have on culture and society. The spirit of hospitality, a fundamental element in every Indian home, inspires my love for hosting parties and extending the same warmth.

From university days filled with culinary experiments involving more mac and cheese than I care to admit, to embracing a broader palate years later through travel, my journey with food has been diverse.

I love discovering new restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and even the world of scotches and gins – a recent highlight being my escapade in Edinburgh.

Food, for me, is more than sustenance; it evokes feelings of joy and nostalgia, bringing family and friends together, and creating connections and shared experiences.

Influenced by the rich flavours of South Indian cuisine and the culinary nuances of West Coast living, my kitchen has become a sanctuary where love and connection take center stage.

As life unfolded, health challenges reshaped my culinary focus. Now, my mission is to champion food education and create dishes that are both delicious and health-conscious without breaking the bank. Because, let’s be real, healthy food doesn’t have to taste like cardboard!

With the rich blend of spices mixed with West Coast local ingredients, you can create delicious healthy dishes that are cost-effective and nourish your family.

Join me on this delectable journey where we’ll explore the art of cooking and the joy of savoring incredibly flavorful food. Let’s cook up a storm, share stories, and make this space a virtual home for all things delicious and heartwarming. Cheers to the love affair with food and the beautiful memories it brings to our heavenly tables!
