Ram ram!

Everyone needs a bit of sweetness in their life, so we are here to tell you to take a deep breath, get yourself a cup of tea, a spoonful of sugar (chini), and relax.

About Us

We are Maeve and Kart, an multicultural couple and the perfect blend of Indian and American. Together we live in India sharing our favorite homemade Indian and Indian-American fusion recipes to the world.

Our Story

Maeve, having grown up in America, loved to bake desserts and sweets. Yet, she had never learned to cook real meals. Even the most basic spaghetti was a challenge to the uncoordinated. Famous for her baked goods and cookie recipes, Indian food was completely new to her.

Kart has lived his whole life in India, learning from his parents the most traditional homemade Indian meals. Cooking was never measured in teaspoons or cups, only with precision of the experienced.

After years of being penpals and then friends and then partners and now spouses, we have learned to share and learn new recipes from our own cultures, which we are here to share with you.

We hope you enjoy our little corner of the internet!

Fun Fact #1

We started off as penpals!

Kind of like the movie You've Got Mail, we started off as penpals, writing long emails to each other, and moving on to texting and calling for hours on end. Then we met and eventually married and now we're two goofs sharing our recipes with the world.

Fun Fact #2

Maeve is from USA and Kart is from India

Coming from America and India has given us a perfect combination of cultures as a couple hailing from two completely different countries. Maeve hates spicy food, and now she is destined to broaden her horizons everyday with her weak taste buds. Kart already knew English fluently with a flawless American accent, so much so that he could fool anyone, making him sound more American than Maeve half the time. Makes quite a pair, that's for sure.

Fun Fact #3

We're two INFP's with endless dreams and hopes

We're both INFP personalities, making us two dreamers with beautiful goals for the future. As for astrology: Kart is a Gemini and Maeve is an Aquarius. We're both similar personalities but also complete polar opposites.
