Experience

Though she has a Masters Degree in Business, Prerna's work in the food and blogging world is all self taught. She can proudly say that she has years of experience of just being trained by the best people in Indian cooking: her mother and grandmother.

Prerna's favorite kitchen tool: "When it comes to my most beloved cooking tools I have two, both given to me by my mother and my mother-in-law when I was leaving India for the first time as a new bride to move to the US. My mom gave my most cherished first pressure cooker—every Indian household NEEDS one. And my mother-in-law gave me another quintessential Indian kitchen tool, a marble mortar and pestle. I use the two to this day!
