What happens when a home chef takes her family's cherished recipes and makes them accessible to the world? She creates a thriving online platform that resonates with thousands of people. That's what we explore today with our delightful guest, Palak Patel. She's a home chef, cookbook author, lifestyle blogger, and the creator behind the popular, The Chutney Life. In our candid conversation, Palak shares her unique journey between cultures, her passion for food, and the inception of her blog.
Palak also takes us behind the scenes of her unexpected success, offering insights into the incredible growth of her platform, which now boasts over 300,000 followers. She shares her favorite recipes and talks about the process of capturing her mother's recipes for her friends and followers. Palak also discusses the rollercoaster journey of writing her debut cookbook - an endeavor pursued during her pregnancy and postpartum, with the unwavering support of her 'village.'
It's not all about the food. Her experiences also enrich Palak's story as a mother and an influencer. We discuss her approach to balancing these roles, maintaining creative energy, and the importance of staying true to what you love. Palak talks about the struggles and successes of working motherhood, how to keep the creative juices flowing, and the significance of having sounding boards.
Finally, she leaves us with some powerful advice on embracing failure, starting small, and never underestimating our potential.
Listen and get inspired by Palak's heartwarming journey and infectious love for food.
About Palak Patel
Palak is a home chef, cookbook author, and lifestyle blogger. On her blog, The Chutney Life, Palak aims to inspire people to try their hand at creating the sort of globally inspired meals she makes every day in her kitchen. Growing up in a traditional South Asian family in America, there was always a mix and match at play in her mom's kitchen.
It's where she developed her deep love of cooking and learned from her mom's ability to swap spices and ingredients across almost any dish in the most unique way.
Balak leans on this learned resourcefulness in many of the recipes you find on her blog and in her debut cookbook, The Chutney Life.
