Hi! Welcome to my blog.

My name is Divya Yadava and I’m a food blogger based in Toronto. I’m a food enthusiast – I love everything about food and can talk/think/dream about it endlessly. My approach to cooking is simple – use fresh, healthy ingredients and don’t be afraid to experiment.  You never know what you’ll come up with!

I’m not a professional cook and haven’t had the opportunity to take cooking classes. I just learned over the years – watching my mother in the kitchen, getting inspiration from the Food Network and spending time in the cooking section at the bookstore! I learned the most important lesson about cooking when I was working on my thesis in Food Engineering – don’t be scared to experiment!

I have had the opportunity to live in a number of countries – Saudi Arabia, the U.K., India and Canada – and this has influenced my cooking style. I enjoy trying out unfamiliar ethnic ingredients and have dedicated a “Discover” section on my blog for that. I have a penchant for putting a spin on familiar dishes with the global ingredients – it’s always a culinary adventure in my kitchen.

This blog is a way for me to connect with other foodies and share my thoughts and ideas.  I hope you enjoy it!
