Welcome to Spoonful Stories!
Hi! I am Ishana Passi and I live in Chandigarh, India.
Growing up in Chandigarh and being surrounded by the Punjabi culture, I am most passionate about food. And from there grew my love for food! My time in the kitchen has always proved to be therapeutic and exhilarating.
Spoonful Stories is a resource for you to connect with your loved ones through the joy of cooking and eating over the table again! I hope you find here recipes that will be nourishing, fun, tasty and bring all of your loved ones together!
I have started Spoonful Stories as a personal blog to share my sweet and savoury recipes with all of you and most importantly celebrate life around the joy of cooking and eating together. The kitchen is your canvas to be creative and productive. Spoonful Stories is a tool to help you enjoy the process of cooking and reconnect with your loved ones over good food.
For me, the kitchen has always kept me grounded and centred. Ever since I can remember I have loved cooking and baking but never took it seriously. Cooking for me is therapeutic and calming.
I began cooking with the intention to cook for others in my family, and little did I know that we would start sharing heart to heart moments at the table again. In my family, we always took eating together for granted. I realised it was my joy of cooking a simple meal that would bring everyone together and make it for the best and therapeutic eating. Every time I would cook, there would be a sense of excitement in everyone to share a meal together.
My time in the kitchen cooking with joy and enjoying a meal together has proven to be the binding agent for my family. If you can bond over dinner table at the restaurant, why not have the same family time in your kitchen while cooking and eating together?
Sharing a meal together can be a reason to take out time for each other from our busy schedules and talk. It is cooking and eating together that brings us closer in such complex societies today. The art of cooking is what sets us apart as humans. Food is one of the only universal topics that can bring together people and be a conversation starter.
I truly hope Spoonful Stories will be your first stop when you need a recipe to celebrate togetherness and food!
