I always like to introduce myself as a mother. After that, I am a teacher and a social worker. Having moved to the US from Bangladesh in 2015, I’ve always missed the authentic Bengali food that I grew up with, especially the home-cooked Sylheti cuisine prepared by my mom and chachi. This longing led me to become a Bengali food enthusiast, exploring various states in the US in search of flavors from my home country. Along the way, I discovered numerous restaurants and grocery stores that provided the spices, vegetables, and fish essential for Bengali cuisine.
Inspired by my food quest, I developed a passion for cooking authentic Bengali dishes and experimenting with fusion cuisine. Some experiments turn out to be a huge success while others end up in the garbage, but my son and I thoroughly enjoy spending quality time together through these culinary adventures.
