Having grown up in an Indian military family, Aruna had the chance to appreciate the myriad of culinary styles across India from a very young age on. From the art of subtle flavors in the North of India to developing a palate for robust coastal cooking, loaded with coconut and spices, Aruna was always dabbling in many kitchens. 

​

As an artist, Aruna's love for creativity extends beyond the canvas and into the world of flavors, where she brings artistry to every dish she creates. Spending seven years in Dubai instilled in her a deep appreciation for Middle Eastern cuisine, while over a decade in Switzerland exposed her to innovative techniques and trends in continental cooking.

For Aruna, traveling isn’t just about sightseeing — it’s about exploring and deconstructing local flavors, which she recreates in her home, turning cherished memories into delicious dishes. To her, food is a dynamic and ever-evolving experience, always offering something new to discover. As she continues her culinary journey, Aruna delights in embracing fresh flavors, experimenting with trends, and creating unforgettable moments for her family and friends — expressing her artistic spirit through every plate she serves.
