Whether it was lasagna or daal makhani, Kavita fulfilled her desire by cooking various, fancy meals for her family. Fortunately, her endeavors were highly appreciated, eventually fueling her to do more, seek more, and dream big.
From family, she moved onto friends, garnering praise from whomever she cooked for. This only gave Kavita more confidence in her abilities.
