A Little About Me
Hi, I am Kanika, and I’m delighted you’re here.Leaving a banking career in 2009 to pursue my passion for cooking and joining aculinary school was a leap of faith that has brought immense fulfillment.
My culinary adventure began in earnest when I married my husband, whose love for meat expanded my vegetarian palate. As we traversed the globe, moving across four countries and five cities, each destination inspired and enriched my cooking with new flavours.
From mastering the hustle of a busy Mediterranean kitchen in Sydney to curating cozy home cooking experiences in Shanghai and Manila, my repertoire and skills have flourished. I’ve also had the joy of connecting with wonderful women through my cooking classes, sharing our love for food.

Motherhood & the Joy Of Cooking
Embracing motherhood has been my life’s most enriching chapter, teaching me the art of creating wholesome meals that cater to the heart as much as to health. Food, for me, is the thread that weaves together connections, stories, and memories.
Now settled in beautiful Melbourne, I cherish my Indian roots while embracing the Australian way of life. My recipes are a tribute to the vibrant Indian flavoursI grew up with, lovingly passed down by my mother, my culinary mentor.
It’s about the balance of nourishment and indulgence, embodied in my 80-20 rule: living healthily while also savouring the joys of life’s little treats. Whether it’s a heartwarming meal or a walk with friends, a quiet coffee moment, or a slice of pizza, each bite is a celebration of life’s journey.
