About Me

Hi, I’m Lavanya!

A financial journalist with an insatiable passion for all things food! As a Brit whose family is Indian, indulging in the spicy and wholesome delights the country has to offer is my way of getting in touch with my roots.

 

I grew up in London, UK fostering a love for cooking at the early age of eight starting with scrambled eggs on toast, working my way up. Writing has always been an essential component in my life, thus pulling me towards a career in journalism.

 

When I’m not interviewing CEOs and analysts or covering company financial earnings, I’m usually lurking in my kitchen, rummaging through my pantry and constantly fantasizing about my next meal 😉

 

Elaichi means cardamom in Hindi and elation, happiness! My goal is to bring joy to my readers through my recipes by providing comfort for the soul.

 

Stick around for some of the most iconic and classic dishes that I grew up eating, they’re bound to gain a spot in your weekly meal plans and impress you friends and family!

 

Whether you’re in the mood for sweet or savoury, a vegan/vegetarian or a meat lover, there’s a recipe out there for you!
