Flavors Of Landour

A blend of cultures, Indian, British and American, created a unique flavor in food in a small himalayan town of Landour, where I spent my summers among the locals, learning their ways of food and taste. It remained with me as a happy memory which I am trying to recreate in my kitchen. I aim to use spices and vegetables in our diet without being an extremist vegetarian. Learning the logic behind our cooking methods intrigues me and I'll share my findings with you through Flavors Of Landour.

About

Born and brought up in India into a family where everyone is related to science in some way, I grew up to follow their footsteps. Deriving logics and reasoning behind everyday mundane activities became my way of contributing towards the family passion. The art of cooking captured my attention the most. I learnt well about the spices, techniques of cooking, organization of pantry along with recipes under the supervision of my mother, grandmothers and neighbors. In my kitchen I often experiment with new and old recipes and techniques. Resulting, today I teach how to cook and bake using logic, reasoning and correct spices in correct proportion. Occassionally, write up my research findings in my monthly newsletter too. The pleasure that I derive from doing it all makes my day.
