Tell us about your background and journey.

Born and raised in a village in Western Ghats, India, I developed a love for nature, art, and food. After moving to Pune with my husband, eventually started Fine Fettle Cookery to share my passion for healthy recipes.

What led you to take up this career path?

Food is more than fuel; it's a source of creativity and joy. Cooking is an art form that has always fascinated me. It's not just about nourishing the body but also nourishing the soul. I love to experiment with flavours and presentation styles, and I find inspiration in nature, art, and culture. Through Fine Fettle Cookery, I hope to inspire others to discover their creativity in the kitchen.

Does one's approach change when cooking professionally and at home?
