Prajakta Mahale
My mom is my world! She's the best home chef, and her passion for cooking inspired me from a young age. My first love was flying, and my career as a lead cabin crew member allowed me to explore various cultures and cuisines, further igniting my passion for cooking and service. This experience led me to open my own ventures—an Indian restaurant and a pizzeria in Bangalore. I am delighted to serve all those who miss authentic, healthy, homemade food. Personal Philosophy: "We live to eat, so let’s do that right!!"

Minakshi Sharma
In my 18 years of single-handedly making home-cooked meals for families as small as two and parties as big as a 100 people, I have had one goal: To make the food I prepare as healthy and as delicious as I possibly can. The families I have cooked for have not only enjoyed my meals, but have also seen benefits such as improved weight management and reduced diet-related health issues. Although I specialize in preparing North Indian, Punjabi, Pakistani and Chinese cuisines, I must say that my Indian sweets are exceptionally more special. I love cooking! And the only thing I love more than cooking is: My customers meeting me again after my occasional travels and saying to me, "Minakshi, we missed you so much!" Personal Philosophy: "Each meal is a celebration of life’s flavors"
