مؤلف: Shalini Bhalla

I was born to two excellent cooks: my dad the traditional Punjabi curry expert and my mum, a marvel in the kitchen who can cook her way all around India and beyond. From them, I learnt that cooking is not just about food knowledge but also about loving endeavour. Many happy years of practice, experimentation and inspiration during my travels have brought me to a stage where I can call myself a confident and varied Indian cook. A growing interest in nutrition and healthy eating, married with my passion for tasty Indian food have brought me even further, to this place, to Cook to Jhoom. Back in my childhood home of Mombasa, Kenya, I continue to spend most of my time in the kitchen and I aspire towards a full-time career in food. Otherwise, I photograph, write and run. I would love to hear from you!
