About
Hi, my name is Anjali Dhawan. I am an Indian by birth and Australian by choice :-). That doesn’t mean I don’t want to be an Indian, In fact I am still a hard core Indian at heart and an Australian by nationality. My heritage is Indian and that is the reason for who I am as a person and Australia is a land of opportunity for me.
Cooking was not my childhood passion but came to me initially as a chore and a responsibility that needs to be shared in a working class household. Over the years of cooking it eventually became a passion more than a chore. After more than two decades of cooking I still rank myself as a home cook who has an adventurous palate and cooks on a trial and error basis π . I love to experiment with ingredients and have been fortunate to have a family that enjoys eating. We are big Foodies who love to try, make and eat different cuisines together. As a family we always try and sit down together for at least one meal in a day and it’s mostly dinner’s. Where we enjoy eating and talking about our day.
On this blog I would be sharing some of the recipes in my version which are simple and easy to make. The main purpose is to enjoy not just the food but also the process of making it. This blog ‘Food Kalakaar’ which was previously known as ‘It’s All About Food’ is my dream project.
Since I consider myself to be good at cooking rather than writing, I will cut short my writing and begin to cook… Please feel free to comment on my blog and share your experiences.
Thank You
Anjali Dhawan

Thanks so much for the follow! I love to connect with Indian friends . . . . I love Incredible India! May I ask where you lived in India before travelling to Australia? Have a lovely Sunday~
Hello.. Mumbai before Marriage and New Delhi later π
Ah the huge cities! We spent little time there as we were a group of 10 or 11 architecture students being lead by my husband , the professor of architecture. We traveled extensively in Rajasthan, the north and the south seeing lots of sacred architecture! We were in India, Jan -May 2013 and again in 2015 with a second group! I loved every minute of my time there!
That’s really great to know.. It’s a beautiful country which had lots of diversity in itself π
