Nivaala in the Press: Our Culinary Heritage Mission
I am deeply humbled that our work at Nivaala to save India's family recipes has been recognised by these publications. It is a collective effort to ensure our food stories do not fade away.
I was thrilled to be featured in this HT Brunch cover story about preserving our culinary heritage. It's wonderful to be alongside other voices who share this passion.

The HT Brunch article beautifully explains my personal story and how the loss of my mum's recipes led me to create Nivaala and our voice app.

About this collection
Seeing these features makes me realize how many families are searching for a way to save their history. If you have been meaning to write down your mother's or grandmother's recipes but do not know where to start, you are not alone. We have built the tools, from journals to custom publishing services, so you do not lose that 'andaaze se' magic forever.
When the press writes about Nivaala, they are not really writing about paper or ink. They are writing about the urgency of the moment. We are the last generation to have direct access to our grandparents' techniques. Once those kitchen stories vanish, they are gone.
The publications like HT Brunch and The Hindu have highlighted our commitment to documenting India's diverse culinary geography. Through projects like our Food Atlas, we are mapping family recipes that never had the chance to be written down. It is a slow, patient process of interviewing, transcribing, and formatting family history.
Whether you choose our Heirloom Recipe Journal or want to discuss a full family cookbook project, the goal remains the same. You are moving your history from a memory to a tangible object. Start with a journal if you want the tactile experience of writing, or let us handle the editing for a full-scale publishing project. Your kitchen stories deserve to outlive the day they are cooked.
Nivaala
I started Nivaala because I lost my mother’s recipes, and I did not want anyone else to feel that gap. My work is not just about ink on paper; it is about making sure your family's 'ghar ka khana' stays alive in the kitchen, not just in memory. Let us find a way to keep your history safe.
