New newsletter is up and May was a lot ✨

The freelancing graft is real in a way that is hard to explain unless you are in it. No straight lines. No off switch. Watching independent restaurants I love disappear from this city and feeling that grief while also knowing I am not in a position to take that leap myself and making peace with that, out loud, honestly.

The answer is always the same. Keep cooking. Keep gathering people.

Two new menus are running this month and next and these two menus are my niche. Bangali Bari, my home table, and Kolkata Chinese, the food of the restaurants I grew up in. Both are on the website. Link in bio. And dates are all yours.

18th June and 23rd July - Bangali Bari
15th and 16th July - Kolkata Chinese

Last night 🌙

Celebrating and learning from and his incredible new book that will truly make you pause and think. Invited by to soak in the glorious atmosphere at .bungalow at . I gobbled up the palm heart canapés like no tomorrow, sipped on tea infusions from the state of the art tea taps and wanted the conversation with to continue into the night.

Got to meet some incredible founders, creators and masterminds behind so much incredible work going on in Bengal and end the night chit chatting with my dearest .ankita.gupta 🥰
