On the occasion of Mahalaya - the commencement of the Durga Puja festival, we cooked a simple vegetarian Odia thali to celebrate.

We celebrated Christmas by cooking up a Christmas brunch of dishes that had varying origins and backstories.

Intrigued by Hanukkah, we attempted to make Jewish recipes like Challah bread, Latkes and Apple Sauce from scratch and were astounded by the results.

We made our very first home cooked Thanksgiving dinner, recreating a lot of the tried and tested recipes from our friend Annemarie’s collection.

A Simple Diwali during Covid-19 ended up being all about decorating our home, making sweets, wishing our friends and family virtually and hoping for light to get us through this time of darkness.

Our Ganesh Chaturthi Thali is an amalgamation of both Andhra and Odisha cuisines, to represent both of our cultural roots.
