Namastey and welcome to my blog. I am Yashika and Yashika’s kitchen is reflection of my adventures with food. In this space, I am always sharing fresh, flavorful, (mostly) healthy recipes that I love to make and eat in my every day life.
I live in Toronto, Canada with my husband Kunal. We are four sisters. I am the eldest, then it was Upma – we lost her in 2010 (still lives in our hearts), Bhawna, and Nupur. My father was my first teacher. He had very few realistic expectations from all four of us and he sincerely helped us to achieve those. He values education and wanted us to learn cooking. He ate all the burnt, messed up recipes when we were learning. And finally he wanted us to have faith in God, be kind to everyone and become good human beings. My mother is a lovely lady who taught me to keep kitchen tidy while cooking and cook delicious yet healthy recipes.
This is a personal blog and we are a loving team of geniuses behind us at Yashika’s Kitchen who are experts in Computer Science and all are foodies 😉 assisting with editing and recipe shoots. They are EVERYTHING. ♡
What started as a casual hobby for nights and weekends while I was working as a Process Improvement Specialist has now grown into a full-blown business that reaches millions of people. You will find a little bit of every cuisine here. I come from a country of spices, India and live in country of immigrants from various cultures, Canada and it added fuel to my love to explore. I love to get creative using unique ingredients and pairing different flavor combinations. Cooking has always been a passion and a therapy for me.
