Dear Reader,

​

Thank you for taking a moment to stop by.

​

My story began in Mumbai, India, and has taken me through Sydney, Singapore, and countless corners of the world before bringing me to the United States, which I now proudly call home.

​

My love affair with food began at the age of eight, when I first stepped into the kitchen. What started as childhood curiosity grew into a lifelong passion that accompanied me through my studies in Architecture and Urban Design at UNSW in Sydney.

​

In 1994, while still a graduate student, I published my first cookbook, Gujarat Nu Jaman, a tribute to my grandmother and the rich vegetarian cuisine of Gujarat.

 

Since then, I have continued to share my love of food through teaching, writing, and culinary experiences that celebrate authentic cooking, culture, and tradition.

​

In 2011, I founded Weave A Thousand Journeys, a boutique travel atelier specializing in bespoke culinary, wine, architecture, and culturally immersive journeys around the world. It is the perfect fusion of my two great passions—food and travel—and allows me to connect clients with extraordinary people, places, and experiences.

​

Whether in the kitchen or on the road, I believe the best stories are shared around a table. My travels have taught me that remarkable food can be found everywhere—from Michelin-starred restaurants to humble family-run eateries—and that curiosity is the greatest ingredient of all.

​

When I'm not teaching, creating recipes, or designing journeys, you'll find me spending time with my hubby, our two sons and our Australian Labradoodle, Luna.

​

Warmly,

Devaki
