She has been conducting baking classes and now would also like to teach travelers to cook a traditional South Indian meal. Vidhya was born in Thirunalveli, raised in New Delhi and then moved to Chennai after marriage. Her cooking is influenced by all the beautiful cities she has lived in. She is a culinary enthusiast whose heart resides in the tantalizing world of flavors and spices – she loves to experiment with tastes, textures, and techniques. The sizzle of spices, the aroma of freshly cooked food, and the joy of creating something delicious from scratch - these are the things that fuel Vidhya’s culinary creativity. She learned to cook as a child and has been a professional home baker since 2012. She is multifaceted – from conducting workshops, to offering baking classes, from executing party orders to hosting a show on YouTube, she does it all!
When asked why she would like to be a Traveling Spoon host, this is what Vidhya had to say, “Cooking isn't just a hobby for me; it's an art form, a creative expression that allows me to weave magic in the kitchen. I want to teach people who are interested in learning.”
