Tell us about yourself.
I’m Silky. I’m an artist, cosplayer, foodie and a lazy panda. I’m a Delhi-based blogger.
How did you become passionate about food?
To be honest… I don’t eat many veggies and all… but I love to try new cuisines and dishes.
Have you stayed in any other city or country? How were your food experiences there?
I’ve been to Gujarat, Rajasthan, Odisha, and I’ve tried Russian food too… And honestly… Delhi’s food is best.
What’s the story behind starting your microblog?
I’m the co-founder of PALETTE OF FOOD. I click better photos of food than of humans and one day I texted my sister “want to start a food blog?” She replied “lol sure” That’s how it all started!
What is your favorite food memory?
Memories are many but this one thing is part of every memory… We (me and my sister) generally prefer walking rather than taking an auto or something for short distances (1-2 km). And we discuss different food on our way to our destination.
How do you get your inspiration?
