About Nonchalant Insider

At the age of 12, curious about all things food, I started by cooking my very first dish. A resident
of Mumbai, India – a land rich in culture and
cuisine I started my journey on the culinary trail quite early. Beginning my food career in journalism where I still write extensive on food and the
people behind it for luxury publications, nationally as well as internationally.
