" IN CONVERSATION WITH DIVYA"

 DIVYA: How foodie are you?
BINJAL: I am a big food lover person, more than eating I always curious about the dish how it's made so I love to try different dishes outside which are I never tasted before so I can make it with my own style. And I always try to make a dish which is very simple and easy to make for others. Thank god my family also a bog foodie, they love to eat outside to try new things too. I'm big fan of north Indian street food but whenever we go out in another city I would love to eat popular food from there.

                                    

DIVYA: How is it to be a food blogger?
BINJAL: As a blogger I would like to except that my blog is my open space where I can put my thoughts and creativities  to the world. You could also take this as a carrier and make some money. But I noticed that some are always focusing on making money and compromising with their work, which is not correct. I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to make money off your blog, but don't align yourself with a brand or project that isn't a good fit. You are the company you keep. Focus on producing your best contents and building your audience and the opportunities will come.

               

DIVYA: When you learn about a new recipe what makes you want to try it?
BINJAL: I cook because I enjoy cooking and trying new things. I grew up like always been asking for the recipe of any meal I ate because I wanted to try it myself. At restaurants, when I like something  I'm always trying to figure out what are the ingredients so I can replicate it at home. I am married and blessed with two children and they are also like me as they would also like to eat different varieties of foods which always inspiring me to make something new at home without any worry. Being a busy mom, balancing a family and career, I owe my family a good meal. Last but no least, I find cooking therapeutic and an art in the kitchen.
