It has been a wild, heartfelt ride taking authentic Kolhapuri flavours from my home to the world. Here is a peek at where my journey has been featured.

Drum roll! I was named one of the "25 Happening Home Chefs" by UpperCrust Magazine. It's such an honour to be recognized among friends and colleagues who love to feed people good, honest food.

I was so excited to be featured in Her Circle for their "Kitchens of India" Kolhapur edition. The article shares my insights and childhood memories, showing that Kolhapuri food is about so much more than just its vibrant colour.

A screenshot from a documentary I was a part of. These projects remind me that I'm on the right path and that hard work really does pay off. I'm so grateful for these opportunities.

My Kolhapuri Chicken Pie recipe was featured in Midday! I love giving English pub food an Indian twist. The flaky, buttery pastry with a meaty, spicy gravy inside is a perfect comfort dish.

About As Seen In The Media

Being named one of the '25 Happening Home Chefs' by UpperCrust Magazine felt like a huge hug! It is incredibly validating to see my family recipes, like the Kolhapuri Chicken Pie featured in Midday, connect with so many food lovers beyond my own dining table.
