Our chef Rajee Sivaramakrishnan

Meet Rajee - I have been a vegetarian all my life, so I’ve never really known what my body might have gained from eating meat. What I do know is that I’ve enjoyed good health and a deep love for food without it.

I have a special love for traditional Indian recipes—the kind of food inspired by grandmothers, passed down through generations and made with patience, intuition and love.

For me, cooking is about creating food that is balanced, nourishing and wholesome, but also soulful. Through my workshops, I hope to share a medley of Indian vegetarian dishes that will fill your home with beautiful aromas, your table with colour and flavour, and bring a little taste of the warmth of home-cooked food into your kitchen.
