Grilled Peach and Gorgonzola Salad

This is a “Summer meets Fall” kind of a salad because that’s kind of where we are weather wise. Although it is end of season, markets still carry juicy and sweet peaches. Aren’t end of summer peaches the best? Fall produce have also started to make an appearance now. It is the best time to…

Depression, the monster that no one knows to see!

Today, I want to download everything that have been rumbling within me in the last few years. I want to relieve myself of all the pain and heaviness that have engulfed me. I want to consolidate all the negative emotions that have stealthily yet steadily encroached my heart and eradicate them without any trace. I…

Story Telling With Food

Some of you know that I had this wonderful opportunity to speak at a ‘CTPPA (Connecticut Professional Photographers Association)’ about food photography recently. “Tell Your Food Story Stunningly” was the topic I chose to package my knowledge and experience with food photography and deliver to a group of very talented and accomplished photographers. The amazing…

Loaded Veggie Sheet Pan Nachos!

Happy New Year everyone! Please don’t give me that strange look; I know, the first month of the year is on its way out and it feels like 2017 has been here forever. Although late, I really wanted my best wishes to be with you through the remainder of the year and bring to you all…

Green Salad With Spicy Tofu Croutons

As George Michael sings in his Heartbeat song, “Another summer, another vacation is over …” . It felt like just yesterday when the chirping birds, the bright and beautiful flowers, and the sweet juicy berries announced the arrival of Summer.

Bruschetta Caprese (ready in ten minutes)

You may have observed that unlike many other bloggers I do not make posts very frequently. Well, it certainly is my wish and interest to make a few posts every month. With a full time job in the IT industry and two lovely kids that occupy rest of my time, it is certainly a challenge to find…

The Party Day

Everyone confirmed their availability for the party on May 21st at 3pm. Twelve girls were coming and Shreya was thrilled. She couldn’t wait to get together with her besties and have a blast. While she began the count down, I started to monitor the weather for the day. It was toggling between rainy and cloudy…

Our Little Girl Turns Seven

Our little drama queen Shreya turned seven this month. Seven, what a fun age to be! But, where did the time go? Why does it fly so fast? Can’t we have a pause button that’d freeze time for however long we’d want to and allow us to enjoy those adorable phases of our kids to…

I get to quickly browse through some of them during lunch or other breaks that also have become pretty short lately. I…

Tawa Paneer

Like many of us, my journey with food photography started by falling for jaw dropping and drool worthy pictures of great photographers. No day passed without looking at a bunch of their photographs. I gazed at their work for hours and envied them…
