On his journey across the country, Kunal discovered some delectable and unexplored food joints and kitchens that led him to catch the culinary bug.
Known for his sense of humor Mr. Kunal S.Vijayakar says “I should have only myself to thank, because the amount of time, stamina and stress it has taken me to put together this small compendium of recipes is shameful. I’m not saying this is a great literary work, but I’ve literally had to slog to select and deliver these recipes. Since I am no chef, I could not conjure dishes as I went along. Instead, I’ve had to delve into my beginnings, recollect my excursions, extract from my retentiveness and borrow from the classics.
As rightly said, “Keep Calm & Eat On”!
