I partner with local chefs in cities like Delhi, Chennai, and even Japan to bring my 'Maharashtrian spice box' into their kitchens. It’s always an intense, beautiful exchange of techniques and stories, creating a menu that bridges the gap between my family’s Kolhapuri recipes and the local palate. ### More Than Just a Meal My 'Travel with Food' philosophy is simple: I hunt for food gems across India, then bring those flavours back to share. When I host a pop-up—whether at The Lodhi in Delhi or collaborating with local chefs in Chennai—I’m not just serving food. I’m sharing the history of a 'vatan' (masala paste) or explaining why a specific chilies from Kolhapur makes a difference in the 'tari' (spicy oil layer). ### Why Book a Pop-Up or Food Tour? * **The Authentic Experience:** You get to taste food that rarely makes it to restaurant menus, cooked with the same care as my Aai’s kitchen. * **Community Connection:** These events are designed to be intimate. We eat together, share travel stories, and bond over the common language of good food. * **Beyond the Plate:** Whether you are joining me for a weekend homestay at Pawna Lake or a multi-course pop-up, you’ll walk away with stories about the ingredients, the sourcing, and the culture of Maharashtra. ### How It Works I am constantly on the road, looking for new spaces and new friends. If you want to host a pop-up in your city, or are looking for a curated food trail that goes deeper than the usual tourist spots, let’s talk. My pop-ups are collaborative, meaning I work closely with local teams to ensure the integrity of every dish—from the humble Kothimbir Wadi to the robust Saoji Mutton. ## About Every Aroma I'm Reshma, and for me, food isn't just fuel—it's how I connect with people. Whether I'm hosting a pop-up in Chennai or leading a food trail, I'm just here to share the 'zhanzhaneet' flavours I grew up with.
