I am a full-time UX Architect in Healthcare IT with a great passion for cooking. I love experimenting with healthy and traditional food. Being an Agriculture graduate turned Medical Geneticist, I try to source organically grown ingredients from farmers and added the health benefits of each ingredient in most of the recipes that are posted here.
