Upasana Pathak

I am addicted to two things in life: good food and living the simple pleasures of life to the fullest. I have no qualms in admitting that I am a born Foodaholic: “Addiction to innovative, authentic and tasty food”. I had the privilege of travelling around the country due to my father’s transferable job. Owing to my interest in learning new languages and exploring different regional cuisines, I can speak 5 languages fluently. I enjoy experimenting with local cuisines and produce and keeping the nutritional content intact. I love blogging about new innovative recipes with easily available ingredients and plan to write a book someday on reviving some of the ancient local traditional recipes of different region of India. I have been working with an International Philanthropy Foundation based out of New Delhi, India for almost 10 years now. Prior to joining the foundation, I worked with a non-profit media trust where I was involved with an initiative to encourage entrepreneurship among young men and women from low-income groups. Before joining the development sector, I worked with a consumer finance institute for almost 5 years.
