Food, for me, is more than what we cook and eat. It carries memories, traditions, identity and stories that deserve to be preserved and shared.
Through CulinaryXpress, I explore these connections through food writing, culinary research, photography and storytelling, with a special interest in documenting Odisha’s rich food heritage.
I welcome meaningful collaborations with publishers, cultural organisations, food platforms, event organisers and individuals who share an interest in food, culture and storytelling.
Whether it is a conversation around Odia cuisine, a culinary research project, a food story, a photography collaboration or an invitation to speak, I’d be happy to hear from you.
