I have grown up loving food – all types.

I love my traditional konkani delicacies as much as I love authentic paella and take-out pizzas. Food has been the central point in my life for as long as I can remember.

 

First my constant struggle with weight has made me obsess about my meals, I moved to India from the US at a time when no one had heard of marinara or humus – my diet changed drastically and I missed my American burgers. My teenage daughter became near anorexic at the same time my young son developed a heart condition where his cholesterol had to be kept low. One child I had to urge to eat, the other I had to set limits.
