About Me


Born a Bangalee in a household that epitomizes "Live to Eat" philosophy, obsession about food was in my genes. Survival in new city, away from the cushioned life of home prompted me to venture in the uncharted territory called kitchen and learn the nuances quickly. And in no time my necessary chore become a hobby and now my only passion.

It's been nearly six years, since I first stumbled on a food blog, courtesy Google Search. A lot has changed ever since. Now I have a husband, a kid and diabetes to keep my hands full. Yup!! The inevitable tragedy struck pretty young! Along with passion for food, diabetes was also in my genes from both paternal and maternal sides. I was more or less prepared for it, but I least expected it to happen when I was about to experience the most wonderful phase of my life: Motherhood! It was initially ‘Gestational Diabetes’, which refused to leave me even after my precious little bundle was out for everyone to cuddle and fondle.

When I realized that diabetes will be my companion “till death do us part”, my initial reaction was “Oh no! No more Roshogollas (cottage cheese balls in sugar syrup)”!!! And my joys knew no bound when heard that I can have them, even if it meant only once a month.

This blog is not to lecture on “Diabetic Awareness” or “Diabetic Care” or “Dos and Don’ts of Diabetes”. It’s simply a collection of recipes that I cook for myself and my family that’s tasty, healthy and also at times pure indulgence. And it also keeps my A1C down! 


So welcome to my blog and celebrate Food - the most delicious aspect of life; with or without diabetes!

And since no literary work is complete without acknowledgement, so here goes mine:

a. My parents, for introducing me to good food and fine dining at a young age and when fine dining was not so prevalent in India. 

b. My sister Pujya, for patiently enduring all my culinary experiments, often with disastrous results.

c. My Husband, Sam for being everything that I am not.

d. Little Sid, my el niño, for his innocent and brutally honest “YUMMY” and “YUCKKY” feedbacks.

    1. Natural herbs have cured so many illnesses that drugs and injection Can't cure. I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I read people's testimonies online on how they were cured of HSV, Hepatitis B, diabetics, HIV, ALS,  etc by DR.AKHIGBE herbal medicine, so I decided to contact the doctor because I know nature has the power to heal anything. I was diagnosed with Hepatitis B for the past 7 years but DR.AKHIGBE cured me with his herbs and I referred my aunt and her husband to him immediately because they were both suffering from herpes but to God be the glory, they were cured too. I know it is hard to believe but am a living testimony. There is no harm in trying herbs. Contact DR.AKHIGBE on email drakhigbeherbalhome5@gmail.com or WhatsAAP him +2349021374574

  7. Hi Progna,

    You know your blog is excellent, helpful, and informative. Not only this About me section but all other posts are excellent.

    Diabetes is a hazardous disease, but if you take some serious steps and make some efforts, you can reduce diabetes symptoms.

    Food like moringa is known to be very helpful in reducing diabetes symptoms.

    Many other foods can be very beneficial for diabetes patients like

    Leafy Green Vegetables
    Cinnamon
    Eggs
    Turmeric
    Fatty Fish

    So it's essential for a diabetic patient to eat such food that can reduce the symptoms of diabetes.

    You know organic food is always great to avoid diseases and to improve overall health.

    Another food known as Maca is excellent for boosting energy and overall health.

    Organic maca root capsules amazon are great for increasing stamina, energy, endurance, sexual wellness, and overall health.

    Eating maca will help in reducing blood pressure and sun damage.

    So it's very important for all of us to eat more natural food so that we can avoid the risks of diseases naturally.
