Spice Chronicles is about inspired Cooking from a New York kitchen. It is an attempt to bring you fresh, clutter-free, vibrant, spice enhanced dishes with a touch of the Hudson Valley. Years ago, I was determined to ensure that family meals did not get into a boring rut to cater to the daily rigors of practical living – work, school, life as we know it.

This site is a personal effort at chronicling the recipes that I created. It also showcases our small commitment towards reducing our family carbon food print. There is more about me and how the family fits into the equation on this page and all about our little curry garden, here. Like most of the good cooks in my life, most notably my grandmother and mother, my cooking is very practical and approachable.
