These are the moments I cherish the most…..being able to create something magical for friends/family on their special day!

Today was the day we celebrated my dear friend’s 50th (who looks younger than me) who I consider to be like my brother ❤️ in Paso Robles.

A beautiful day of wine tasting, eating, and much much much laughter 🥂

“Life is great, but cheese makes it better”

🥂Sameer and to many more memories!

A huge thank you to to making the day extra special! Beautiful vineyard, fantastic wines, and friendly service 🙌🏻

I’m very proud to announce that my homemade curry and tandoori spices are now for sale!

A huge thank you to who helped me to launch at my very first pop-up event from the logistics to the intricate details that helped make it a huge success 🥰

I was truly wowed by the interest and still can’t believe I sold out!

Indian food can be intimidating with at least 5 different spices in one recipe if not more, however when you buy my spice blends you only need to add salt! I’m here to add a depth of flavor and spice to your dishes with simplicity from my kitchen to yours!

Emotions feel a bit heavy right now but by grace of God let there be cheese!

Brighten up your day with goat cheese dressed in vibrant edible flowers with a hint of spice taking your summer charcuterie boards to the next level!

Did I mention I used edible flowers from my own garden?!?! I even surprised myself!

All joking aside I recently lost my father and it’s been hard to come to terms with, but it reminds me life is precious and short. No matter what is happening we must pick ourselves up and create joy in our daily lives 🙌🏻

Thank you for the gardening tips & sage/orange/Chile infused salt that pairs well with the goat cheese and for the Hawaiian chili honey that adds the perfect amount of heat & spice 🙌🏻

Cheers 🥂

It’s also the perfect marinade/rub for BBQ!

Sometimes it only takes a few key elements to elevate your average charcuterie board!

Here it is an unfiltered tangerine blossom honey imported from paradise— paired with a little rosemary drizzled over warm Brie topped with toasted walnuts! The perfect citrus summery compliment that will keep you wanting more!

And add few strawberries and now we have a summer charcuterie soirée! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Thank you once again for sharing your amazing honeys! Already thinking of recipes for the hibiscus infused honey😋

Warning: you’ll want to put this honey on everything!!!!!!

What would you make with it?

P.S. I’ve taken a break from IG and for those of you still here with me I want to thank you for support ….truly means a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 and yes still working on those perfect drip photos 🤣🤣🤣

My savory adventures was born in 2010 and has been an evolving endeavor from blogging my food adventures around the world, to sharing recipes, and now honing in on what has always been near and dear to my heart….cheese, meat, wine and bringing people together.

What better way to do that than creating a vibrant Indian fusion charcuterie board that blends my husbands and my culture together—Spiced nuts using my very own masala, herb infused paneer (Indian cheese), dried/fresh fruits, in house made pickled vegetables, strategically traditional cheeses paired with homemade chutneys, traditional cured meats, Indian “Crostini’s”, & honey featured from (the lavender & spicy flavors are the perfect compliment)!

Join me at my very first Pop-Up event on February 12th inspired by Valentines Day! There will be savory options for 1 or 2 people followed by a dessert board to complete your experience!

DM me for orders until we sell out (pick-up only mid-city Los Angeles).

I enjoy all the Christmas cookies and desserts but first pass the cheese & charcuterie! Don’t forget the wine🍷

Bringing in a cheese board for the Holidays and as a way to re-introduce myself!

If you zoom in or swipe to see a close-up you’ll notice this is not your traditional meat and cheese board. I added a little spice with an Indian twist!

Why not?!?!?!

A fruit or savory chutney pairs well with a variety of cheeses, samosas are fantastic finger foods, nuts/dried fruits are popular in India, and pickles are similar to pickled onions—right? Not to mention all the fun spicy crunchy Indian snacks!

Fun Fact: My husband is from India hence why I create a lot of Indian fusion dishes. I am from a small town in Michigan with a German background and we now live in Los Angeles.

Throughout the years we have traveled around the world and food is the focal point as James Beard once said “Food is our common ground, an universal experience” I strongly believe food breaks down barriers and helps us to connect.

We enjoy hosting/entertaining—to cook and share with others is one of the best feelings in my books!

👉🏻More Fun Facts:
I ran a marathon once and will never do it again, but have ran many half marathons since.
I tried out for MasterChef and didn’t clear the first round.
I competed in the largest grilled cheese competition in LA and came 2nd amongst thousands.
My day job is working as an occupational therapist in a hospital.

Julia Child is definitely someone I look up to. Her positive attitude and fearlessness in the kitchen is something I always aspire towards!

Bon Apetit everyone and look forward to learning more about you! Tell me something in the comments about you!

I’ve been apprehensive in posting my traveling adventures especially since I work in healthcare.

This was our first big trip since the pandemic. We were fortunate enough to fly to Portugal and Morocco.

Did I feel safe?

We had to show proof of vaccination before flying, we were tested each time before we flew, and Portugal is 86% vaccinated while Morocco is 60%. Not to mention US just re-opened its borders to all other countries.

The world is slowly opening up and after traveling I realized How crucial open borders are!

From interacting and learning from people of different backgrounds to employment especially the poorer countries that rely heavily on tourism to loved ones being able to re-unite.

The Pandemic has United us despite our cultural differences. We are all human that experience the same emotions so hopefully we can all start to rejoice as we start to physically connect again!

Meanwhile be sure to swipe to see some of our photos from our trip!

Here in LA temperatures are still on the warmer side so I decided to ignite the fall recipes with a stellar fig salad!

Fresh figs with peppery arugula, savory prosciutto with hints of fresh basil complimented with tart goat cheese garnished with candied pumpkin seeds topped with a balsamic/rosemary infused dressing!

How do you sweeten your balsamic dressing?

Here I decided to use date syrup from that deepened the flavor & is 25% less sugar than honey (Not sponsored)!

Balsamic Dressing Recipe
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 1/4 cup balsamic
* 1 tsp finely chopped dried rosemary
* 1-2 cloves of crushed garlic
* 1 tsp Dijon mustard
* 2 tbsp date syrup (or sweetener of choice)
* Salt/pepper to taste

Simply place all ingredients in mason jar & shake vigorously! Enjoy!
