      Your Best Strawberries

      Pistachio Meringue Stack with Rose Cream and Strawberries

I am a technology/business analyst (yes, you are allowed to yawn) by day and an amateur foodie/explorer/photographer the rest of the time. I am from Bombay, India - that melting pot of cultures, where it is as easy to find a Chinese Dosa (a South Indian crepe filled with Chinese-inspired Indianized filling) at a humble street hawker's cart as it to find authentic Japanese sushi at a high-end glamorous restaurant. Growing up in this wonderful city, with a mother who is an excellent cook and friends who are willing guinea pigs to any cooking experiment, I have grown obsessed with food - eating it, cooking it, and most recently, writing about it (in a tiny blog called Tiffin Tales). My job gives me an opportunity to travel and it's such a joy to get the chance to explore new places, eat new food and meet new people (ahem, guinea pigs).

  1. What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
    Snails
  2. What do you cook when home alone?
    Eggs, eggs and more eggs
  3. Your most treasured kitchen possession:
    My whisk
  4. The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
