WHERE WE MET
LFC made me realise that there are others like me—people who love to go down rabbit holes on all things food.

This meetup really showed me how everyday dishes for one person can be entirely new to another person. I felt joyfully alive around like-minded food enthusiasts.

The highlight of my evening was the stories people had of their favourite monsoon meals.

The Alu Vadi, made with colocasia leaves and a gram flour batter.
Strawberry and jamun gelato—local, in-season, and gone in seconds!
MEET YOUR HOST
What does local mean to you?
When I hear the word local, I instantly think of local vegetable and fruit markets, local grain vendors, and the mom-and-pop shops that I hope India doesn’t lose anytime soon.
Eating dal chawal and watching Pokemon as a child. Is it weird that I still like to combine both together, as a full grown adult?
Lotus stem. I can be versatile. I like living close to water bodies. And I can be soft or crunchy depending on my mood.
Khichadi cooked the Sindhi way, with split moong dal.
I see LFC as a space for friendship and conversations around food where there’s no gatekeeping, no one to impress, and no burden of food needing to be perfect. This will be a space where people can come as they are and leave with a lighter heart and fuller bellies.
