Iam mother two kids iam so happy what i have

My journey began not in a business school, but in the face of tragedy. In 2018, I was burnt during Diwali. Shortly after, I lost my husband to COVID. Grief threatened to consume me, but I looked at my children and knew I had to fight. 2. It wasn't born out of ambition; it was born out of love. With the help of my 74-year-old mother-in-law, Ms. Chanchal Dewan, we combined my passion for traditional recipes and her culinary wisdom to create homemade spice blends. We started small, but our impact has been big, reaching over 500 families.

I am an ordinary housewife

am Chef Nandini Diwakar, I found my passion for cooking at very early stage but I had never dreamed of being a very big star of culinary expertise, I have always worked with one passion that my dishes should reach every class of the society even the unprivileged class as they are the once who are deprived of quenching their taste buds. As I had myself face these Hard Times, I didn’t wanted anyone else to feel the same way. Being a Daughter of a DHOBI (Washerman), yes you read it correctly and this with proud, it was little hard for me to come out of this social stigma. The first challenge I faced was that I didn’t had proper house where I can explore my expertise. Along with my Mother and Father, we were 5 sisters and we lived in 600 sq. ft. room with no proper roof. My Father had always asserted that me and my sisters to keep Education as our primary goal. Next challenge I faced was of proper equipment as I didn’t belonged to well off family, so even dreaming of Modular Kitchen was itself a dream. After that comes the basic challenge of Raw Material i.e. Vegetables and spices. My Father had a very strict principle which he followed religiously. It was whenever he earned more than Rs. 500/- only the family will have food. Else we had to sleep empty stomach. Gradually things began to change and I started participating locally at cooking contest. After losing at many cooking contest. Suddenly after few months I found out people have started to talk about my dishes and innovation that I was regularly experimenting on. As I had developed a craze of participating in Cooking Contest regardless of considering my competitors experience and vintage. Every time I participated, I worked out deeply and thoroughly about my shortcomings. Soon I started winning each one the contest that I participated. Not only winning, even the competitors started to know, what I made, and how I made it. When your competition starts praising you & learning from you, it means you are not only wining trophies, you are also winning hearts. One day I was surfing facebook searching regular stuff. I found out a contest named Lufthansa Cook & Fly Contest. It was an all over India Contest and the reward was, the winner will get free Europe trip & his/her signature dish will served in flight menu of Lufthansa Airlines. Winning this contest was the most remarkable turning point of my life. As soon as the Winner announcements were declared, my name took the Internet by storm.
