Hi, I’m Sarika, and I’m so glad you’re here! Originally from Delhi in northern India, I’ve been living in the US for the past 32 years. I moved here with my parents and brother and am now happily married to my husband, Anil, for 19 wonderful years. Together, we’re proud parents to two amazing kids, Simran and Aryan.
With a degree in Finance, I’ve built a fulfilling career as a Realtor in New Jersey, helping people find their dream homes. But my love for cooking runs just as deep. I started at the age of 11, inspired by my hardworking mom, who balanced her career with managing our home. Cooking also runs in the family—one of my uncles is a Thai chef, and another had a catering business in the US. It’s safe to say, culinary creativity is in my blood!
My blogging journey began during an 8-year break to care for my kids after working for 13 years. Now, with 11 years back in the workforce, I continue to find joy in sharing recipes and connecting with fellow food enthusiasts. Alongside family influences, I’ve learned a great deal from online communities, which have opened doors to countless inspirations and ideas.
Every recipe on this blog is carefully tried and tested, whether passed down, taught by someone, or created by me. Please respect the effort and love poured into this space by not copying any images.
