Introduce yourself

Hello everyone I am Vishakha and I was born in Baroda, Gujarat but raised in Nagpur,  Maharashtra. I am the typical Maharashtrian girl who studied Hotel Management and worked in Mumbai and Pune. In India, I was a culinary teacher and chef.  When I met my partner, a captain of a merchant navy, we travelled the world. In 2019, we moved to Singapore. However, no matter where I go, food still reminds me of my hometown. I continue to cook with my roots in mind but based on the availability of ingredients, substituting recipes with fresh ingredients that you can source from the markets here.

To me, Home is…

a place of love , understanding, comfort, health. It is a place I desire to come back to where no one is judgemental. A house is built by walls whereas a home is built by heart.

What’s the story behind the dish you are presenting?

I will be cooking my hometown food from Maharashtrian. They will be fresh and nutritious. They represent my culture and the traditions in the family.
