Culinary Legacy is a compilation of family recipes, lovingly contributed by friends and family. Here they share the story of their family recipe, who inspired them to cook it and how they have tweaked it today due to changing tastes, ingredients and techniques. They try and recreate the smell, taste and the memory of the dish, fondly remembered, into a recipe to be shared. With the sharing of these recipes and the stories behind them, we want to connect with people from far and wide through a common language, food.

Read nostalgic stories behind the family recipes.
Come on a food journey from our kitchens to your inbox.

Even with the new trends in the culinary world, when talk turns to food, most people remember fondly, food cooked by their grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and though they remember the taste and the love that went into cooking the dish, alas the recipe is lost due to lack of it being written down. Don’t let this happen to your food memories. Let’s recreate the love, taste and story behind the family recipe you remember the most.

My name is Shivani Khanna. I’m a food enthusiast, culinary instructor, recipe researcher & curator. I’ve been cooking, reading and talking about cooking for more years than I can remember. This blog is my attempt to document heirloom family recipes, passed down from generation to generation. By documenting these old recipes before they are lost, I want to preserve the nostalgia of food cooked by the older generation or recipes that have passed down in families.

This collection of family recipes will be the ‘Culinary Legacy’ I want to leave behind.
