Hi there, it's Jugnu and Aarushi!
We grew up surrounded by the kitchen as a place where stories were told, traditions were passed down, and history was served on every plate. Our journey with food began long before we realised it. We are a mother-daughter duo who have watched food around us and learned how to turn simple ingredients into something magical.
For us, cooking has always been more than just a chore. It’s a shared passion, a creative outlet, and a way to connect with others. Whether it’s trying to cultivating a sourdough starter, perfecting a fancy dessert, or revisiting traditional Indian recipes, we find joy in every step of the process.
Our favourite past time is experimenting with new flavours and techniques. Manic recipe testing is at the heart of what we do. We try to create recipes that might remind you of your own childhood, help you whip up quick weeknight meals, or celebrate special occasions—all while introducing new techniques we’ve learned through years of experience. Many of our recipes are student or college-friendly, designed to be made with little to no cooking experience, while others push boundaries with advanced skills like bread making, macaron piping, and cake decoration. But we’re not just here to give you recipes; we want you to learn through our learnings. Our goal is to condense everything we’ve discovered and mastered into dishes that excite, challenge, and inspire you to grow in your kitchen.
Food has also been our compass, guiding us through adventures near and far. We’ve travelled the world in search of incredible vegetarian and eggless food, uncovering hidden gems and savouring unique flavours that deserve to be shared. From the comfort of a warm masala dosa in Chennai to the indulgence of a tiramisu in a quaint Milanese restaurant, every bite brought with it stories that stayed with us.
In 2020, when the world slowed down, we decided to turn our shared love for food into something more. That’s how Taste Palate was born. What started as a small blog to share recipes we loved quickly blossomed into a thriving community of food enthusiasts.
We hope Taste Palate inspires you to fall in love with food the way we have. Our goal is to make cooking approachable and exciting, whether you’re diving into a family recipe or trying something completely new.
Join us on this journey of discovery, from our kitchen to yours, with love.
