About me

Namaste! I'm Sravanthi Chanda, the creator of Everyday Nourishing Foods, where I'm passionate about making delicious and approachable Indian lunch and dinner recipes for busy home cooks.

A Little About Me

I reside with my parents, husband, and two amazing kids. Consequently, all my recipes are suitable for both adults and kids. My 15-year journey in the kitchen has been one of constant discovery, boundless creativity, and immense satisfaction.

Growing Up with Indian Flavors

My love affair with Indian cuisine began in my childhood home, filled with the warmth of spices and the comfort of home-cooked meals. Those memories continue to inspire me to recreate these flavors in my kitchen.

My Culinary Journey

My cooking journey began with a simple goal: to cook healthy, delicious meals for myself and my loved ones. I love using fresh, seasonal ingredients, so I turned this passion into Everyday Nourishing Foods and sharing recipes that use simple and readily available ingredients.

While I enjoy making elaborate dishes, I understand the importance of quick and easy meals for busy days, as I have a full-time job and need to manage cooking along with work and family. Therefore, my mission is to make Indian cuisine simple and easy to fit into your daily life.

My Background

Along with an engineering degree, I also hold a diploma in health and integrative lifestyle, which shapes my approach to recipe development. This background shapes my approach to recipe development in two key ways. First, it allows me to integrate healthy cooking techniques, like minimizing oil usage and maximizing nutrient retention. Second, I can cater to various dietary needs by offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options whenever possible.

Fresh and Seasonal Ingredients

Using fresh, seasonal ingredients is at the heart of Everyday Nourishing Foods. High-quality produce not only enhances flavors but also boosts nutritional benefits. Whether it's sourcing from local farmer's markets or trusted vendors, I prioritize fresh ingredients to give you the best culinary experience.

The Lunch Menu Helper

Planning healthy lunches can be challenging, but the Lunch Menu Helper tool makes it easy. Personalize your lunch menu based on your preferences, dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), and seasonal ingredients. This tool helps you create balanced and delicious meals effortlessly. You can also browse my lunch plate creations at Indian Vegetarian Lunch Ideas.
