Who I am

Hi~ I’m Sloka, a home cook, baker, hobby barista and dinner-party planner. I have no formal training but grew up in the kitchen of an Indian household and am inspired by my mother and her mother. While I’m not a trained chef or baker, I am a trained corporate, mergers & acquisitions and securities attorney. I practiced for a few years and am now focusing on my family - which includes my husband and two australian shepherds. I spend much of my free time in the kitchen testing recipes, brewing some coffee or steeping some tea and hosting friends and family.
