      about the chef

      How we met her:

      Bhavana Aunty is mom of my dearest ex-colleague Milind. When I told Milind about our idea of a collective to engage people like our parents making authentic delicious regional recipes, he asked if I can speak with his mom. We fell in love with her nankhatais immediately and was hugely inspired by Bhavana and her energy :)
