About Chef Ritu
I grew up learning recipes from my grandmother's kitchen in Lucknow. After culinary school and years in five-star hotels, I opened my own restaurant in 2018.
Today I serve slow-cooked Awadhi dishes, host private dinners and teach home cooks the art of Indian flavours.
Cooking is love made visible.
