Cuisine

Indian Deep Dives

Regional cooking from across India — beyond the curry-house menu and into the spice cabinet.

Cuisine

Japanese & Korean

Ramen experiments, dashi from scratch, and a slow obsession with kimchi fermentation.

Baking

Bread & Bakes

Sourdough that doesn't gatekeep, focaccia I'm still perfecting, and the easiest naan you'll ever pull off.

Drinks

Coffee & Drinks

Pour-over routines, espresso experiments, and the home cocktails I keep coming back to.

In the kitchen

My everyday tools

The kit that earns its real estate on a small countertop. Nothing flashy — but each of these has been through years of testing and survives the cull every time I tidy up.

  • 🔪 Tojiro DP 240mm gyuto — the only knife I really need
  • 🍳 Lodge cast iron + carbon-steel wok
  • ⚖️ Cheap kitchen scale (the magic ingredient)
  • 🌶️ A spice drawer with proper labels
  • 📓 A weather-stained notebook of timings
