Bagya's Book

When you ask most people "Who's your favourite cook?", you'll probably hear the same answer time and time again: their mother. But they'd be wrong. It's my mother! Bagya (sorry mum, last time I'll call you that), comes from South India and is truly obsessed with cooking.

Originally, this just meant perfecting the family recipes that were handed down to her, like a hearty sambar, but it's quickly evolved into a wide spread of cuisines like a delicious Arrabiata or her signature red velvet cake.

One more thing you need to know about her: she's also the cleanest person you'll meet. I work in a hospital and I'm pretty sure I've been in operating theatres with more dirt than her house. So if you want tips on how to organise and clean up your house or gardnen, she's also your girl.
