The Bawi Bride Kitchen started as a food blog in 2013 right after I got married and discovered that I didn’t know how to cook any of the Parsi food my husband loved to eat. What began as an online diary to record recipes my mom shared with me evolved into a complete food blog that shared lost Parsi recipes and since 2015, a full scale catering kitchen that has served more than 5000 happy customers.
My goal with the Bawi Bride Kitchen is to show people that there is more to Parsi food than Dhansak.
To achieve this goal I share not only recipes but the stories and memories behind those dishes. When I was in Mumbai I also used to conduct various experiences like food walks and cooking demonstrations and in 2019, I launched a short series podcast, Not Just Dhansak which spoke to key Parsi food entrepreneurs to get their take on Parsi food.
Since 2014, our work has been covered by almost 100 media publications and my food blog has won India’s Best Regional Food Blog Award by the Food Bloggers’ Association of India for four consecutive years. It is my dream to one day be able to write a book documenting everything I have learned about my community’s cuisine so that I may leave it behind for all the Bawi Bride’s that come after me. Until then…
