The story of A Perfect Bite
When I decided to create a food blog, I wanted something that would be complete. A space that was not hemmed in by parameters of cuisine such as Indian or others, or any particular genre of writing, such as reviews or recipes, but one that was open to tabling anything related to gastronomy. And the name played a large part in this identity for my online space.
And then i remembered, in the movie ‘A Mirror has Two Faces’ is a scene in which the main characters played by Jeff Bridges and Barbara Streisand are having dinner
Streisand says,"You're not eating."
Bridges replies, "No, l'm watching your ritual. I just about got your sequence now. You start by rotating the plate counterclockwise ... ...cut on the diagonal ... remove unwanted elements ...
And now comes my favourite part: The loading of the fork. lt's fascinating, the percentages you use of different vegetables, to create that one harmoniously-balanced, perfect bite…"
Like Streisand’s character in the movie I have a similar obsession. When I eat, I need to get all the elements on my plate perfectly balanced in each bite. And so my blog came to be called A perfect bite because a space that would bring together all facets of food in one.

Over the years, the Virgo in me has come to the fore and particular subjects that fascinated me have led to the creation of sub blogs;
The Cook-shelf is a blog that collates all foodwriting and will also grow into a repository on food books from India. Through it I also organise meet-ups and Food book related events.
Perfect Food Trails I thrive on ferreting out the foodie underbellies of the places I travel to and Perfect Food trails collates my food travels.
Since its Inception, A Perfect Bite has also grown into a consultancy company based in Mumbai, India. Spearheaded by me, the company’s mission is to bridge the gap between quality products and the consumer through expert advice and guidance. The wesite is inder construction.
