My passion for cooking began when I was 9. It was on one of the regular Sundays that I was tasked with making a simple salad every week. I had watched my Dadi (Grandmother) cook everyday with such passion. I saw her having animated conversations with friends, family and just about anyone, discussing food and recipes. I remember tugging at her saree and following her around as a 3-4 year old in our backyard while she watered our garden full of fragrant Jasmine, papaya trees, a curry leaf plant, drumstick trees. As I remember foods made by her, I call my mom and cousins to get the recipes. Along with my grandmother, my mom never fails to inspire me to cook. Growing up, where education was the most important focus area at home, cooking and doing housework was never an expectation. My mummy would make the most delicious and nutritious seafood, lentils, fresh seasonal vegetables everyday. Once I was married after I started missing her and her food, I have called her at odd times looking for a recipe for her fish curry or a dal. Another person that has never stopped inspiring me is my Aunt Jahidu Fupi, she was the first person to work in our family, she worked in a bank but has always been the greatest cook ever, epitome of work-life balance. Last but not the least my Mom-in-Law, who adds this special flavour to whichever new recipe she makes, making it better than the original. I learnt a whole new style of cooking making me so adaptable to learning new things. I believe there are countless such inspiring women that bring our worlds alive with food and help us make powerful memories that stay with us for life. I hope to revive a bit of them with this platform.
