Hot Crossed Buns

Welcome to my little corner of the internet, and thank you so much for joining my community. I’m Ananya, and I’m currently pivoting from 3.5 years in consulting to a full-time journey in the culinary world. I studied economics, but food has always been my first love.

I’m passionate about creating recipes that are home-style, deeply flavorful, and fun to make, with a focus on healthier swaps, Indian comfort food, and fermentation (hello ginger bug sodas!). My goal is to make cooking feel approachable, exciting, and joyful. This website is a space to share my recipes, sell my digital guides, and connect with a community that loves real, delicious food.

Let’s cook, ferment, and figure it out together ✨
