About Me


My name is Asha Sastry. I grew up in Bangalore and have been living in Melbourne for the past 24 years.

At a very young age, I started helping my mum in the kitchen and eventually developed a passion for cooking. My father used to travel often and learnt a lot of new recipes by eating in different restaurants. When he came home, he used to try them out and that’s how I learnt most of the dishes from him. Over the years, I came across several new recipes and experimented and modified them according to the tastes of my family. My cooking is influenced by vegetarian South Indian cuisine (Karnataka).

Cooking for my family and friends gives me a lot of inspiration and satisfaction. I love inviting people for parties and pooja events and surprising them with new dishes. All my family friends suggested that I should start my own food blog and share my recipes with them. Hence, I started this blog with help of my son and daughter, who took all the pictures.

My other interests are listening to music, gardening, shopping and tennis. I am a devotee of Shirdi Saibaba and Raghavendra Swami.
