FOOD FRIDAYS
Updated: Feb 25, 2022
Growing up in a Desi family, cooking is at the core of our being and of our family and every gathering we have...including every meal every day!
Many of our family gatherings center around the kitchen and food. Everyone distributes theirs tasks and helps out and the task frequently assigned to me is chopping and prep. ๐ (It's not ALL I do!)
We all just love food and I'm pretty sure you do too!
Every Friday on my Instagram I feature an amazing recipe in collaboration with a food blogger who cooks the way I like to eat. Here is where you can get the full recipe.
Please enjoy and definitely share with me here in the comments or on Instagram what you like and any variations you make that would be of interest to us.
Happy eating!
