## About Content Creation & Recipe Development

### Food Is a Feeling

For me, food is tied to memories - like my dad peeling dher saare mangoes (so many mangoes) after dinner, or my amma’s soft idlis. It’s never just about the recipe, it’s about the emotion behind every dish. That’s what I try to capture in every project, whether it’s a rainy chai moment or my paati’s (grandmom’s) medu vadai.

### What I Do

- Recipe development with a focus on vegan and vegetarian (love dialing up the flavour here)
- Food photography and styling that sets the mood, not just the look
- Food videography for brands: cinematic recipe videos, quirky stop-motion, and social media recipe reels
- Content for cookbooks and print that feels personal, not generic

### How I Work

I’ll start by listening to your brand’s story. For video shoots, I always prep with scripts and shot lists - makes everything smoother and less stressful. Collaboration matters to me, so I keep the process transparent and flexible.

### Who I Work With

- Food & beverage brands
- Restaurants, cloud kitchens, cafes
- Health & fitness brands
- Cookbook authors & publishers

If you want your food’s story to feel authentic and relatable, I get it. Let’s bring some realness (and flavour) to your content.

## Meet your expert

[Sanjana S](https://mytribe.in/themessytoast)

### My story

Food is my language, honestly. I grew up chasing the smell of ghee wafting from the kitchen, asking Amma what’s for lunch. Summer’s about mangoes, Kishore Kumar on the radio, and my dad handing us juicy bits while keeping the seeds for himself. Watching Amma and Paati cook together, sharing old recipes, is pure joy. I miss home food like crazy, and that’s what I try to capture – not just dishes, but the feeling they bring.

### My work

- **Food & Product Photography and Videography**: I shoot food, products, and stop-motion food videography for restaurants, cloud kitchens, and cookbooks.
- **Recipe Development & Content Creation**: I create weekday meal ideas, heritage recipe photography, and easy food content for brands and my own profile.
- **Interior & Portrait Photography**: I love capturing cozy corners, restaurant interiors, and people enjoying food together.
- **Sharing Photography Tips**: I post tips on editing, props, and tricks so your food photos look as good as they taste.
