Hello Everyone! A sugary and spicy welcome to delectable world of my food tales – The Platter Delights.

I am Ishani, originally from India and currently based in London. Ever since my childhood, I had an immense passion of food (not exactly cooking, but savoring different type of vegetarian dishes and delicacies prepared by my mum). From flavorful chutneys to biryanis, pickles (oh, essential food in any Indian household) to spicy curries, from desi Indian to experimenting fusion food in the kitchen, I was always first to try, taste and testify. The interest in food increased during my teenage life followed by my professional life in 2000s, when I got exposed to different type of cuisines (Late 1990s and early 2000s when India actually opened up experimenting with worldly varieties of food).

And then… a different food odyssey began when I moved to London. Distinct type of international cuisines, disparate twists to fine dining and diverse assortments of traditional foods were experienced. Initially I did face a few problems finding vegetarian food, so my safe bets were usually McDonalds, Burger King, Subway and then Nandos. However as the time passed and I started traveling more, my curiosity in knowing food culture increased, I became more engrossed in anything to everything related to food – be it in restaurants, cooking shows and blogs or even my own kitchen.

And then on one fine day, a random thought crossed my mind; as am always interested in writing (yes, my other deep interest too), I thought of combining my interests by starting a blog sharing food interests. By no means, I am a food expert, but food blogging is a wonderful platform to celebrate food, learning about food science and interacting with food bloggers.

So, here is my ‘The Platter Delights’, offering information on food facts, recipes, health basics, veggie chronicles, restaurant specials, basically anything tempting related to food. So catch me writing on food, food and food.
