A Food Odyssey
Chiiz|Volume 16

Anagha Godbole is an engineer by training but a foodie at heart. Her food journey began when she moved to the US and started to cook for herself and her family. Along with learning about different cuisines, she loves to paint, dance and learn languages. She loves sharing her love for food through her blog, and other social media avenues. She loves photography and always looks for inspirations around her. Travel is her passion and it often revolves around food and culture. She loves taking pictures that tell a story, about places, people and food. She also writes about her travels on her blog. She feels that there is no right or wrong in photography and that it is a medium to connect with people.

If someone feels like stopping and learning a little more about what you are sharing or if it invokes emotions in people, she feels like she has her job.

A Food Odyssey

Q. From being a Masterchef India Finalist to a food blogger with a massive following, all the while being a working mom; tell us about your food odyssey and how do you manage all these roles with such flair?

A. I guess it happened organically. My mom is an amazing cook, so I guess I learnt how to eat well early on. And when I moved to the USA, I realized that I must learn how to cook if I wanted to feed my family well, like my mom does. I am lucky to have a family that loves exploring different and new things, this was certainly a reason. My kids & husband make it easy to cook for them, always open minded and with great constructive critique. I did not set out to be a food blogger, it started off as my way to document some recipes I tried and liked. To date I don’t post anything to get hits on the site or likes, I post when I feel strongly about sharing it with everyone.

Q. How has being a finalist in Masterchef India transformed, if at all, your cooking style?

A. Masterchef India was an incredible journey. It not only shaped the way I cook, but opened my food horizons. It put my knowledge to test and it also made me realize how much I have learnt over the years. After MasterChef, I look at food with even more love than I did before and I must admit I dream about it all the time.

Dried and Dusted

The West Bengal state of India has always been known for its rich culture and diversity. This innate taste and style is reflected in their dishes too. Their cuisine is essentially. A lot of its flavours and masala mixes have been handed down from over a thousand years and Bengalis to this day retain those recipes which make them truly “shonar Bangla” dishes.
