Sarab’s lifelong love affair with food began in her mother’s kitchen in Mumbai. As a small child, her senses were filled with the swirling aromas of spices, the hissing of hot oil, the rhythmic kneading of dough and the grinding and pounding of the mortar and pestle. From as far back as she can remember, Sarab was hooked on cooking! Sarab briefly relocated to Jakarta and quickly mastered the fundamentals and finer points of Indonesian cookery. Soon after, Sarab moved to Singapore and her repertoire expanded to include Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Singapore Classics, Middle Eastern, Italian and other major cuisines of the world.
