It all started with attempting to recreate the chicken soup with mushrooms and cavatappi recipe photocopied from a Ladies Home Journal when she was a young Architecture student in Pune. After graduating with a degree in Architecture and a Master of Science in Historic Preservation from UT Austin, Aparna worked with Jacobs Engineering, a multinational consulting firm for 10 years, first in the United States and then in India. Her job as a consultant took her to every corner of the US where she found herself cooking and recreating many dishes from all the amazing world cuisines she was able to taste on her travels. A short stay in Korea in 2010 was her culinary dream trip. It was rapidly becoming obvious that she was obsessing more about the right percentage of acidity in her Nuoc Cham rather than her reports and excel spreadsheets. There had to be a better way to use her eye for detail, artistic sensibilities and self-taught culinary skills. Aparna took a giant leap of faith, said goodbye to her job and founded Peckish in October 2015.

Nine years ago, I took the road less traveled, quitting my stable job to pursue my passion for food. So grateful for my friends who stood firmly by me and helped me make the transition. It’s been an incredible journey – hosting pop-up lunches, to establishing myself as a food stylist. And recently, I embarked on a thrilling 100-day culinary adventure across India!

(Almost) One hundred days, countless meals, and unforgettable experiences later, I’m filled with gratitude. I discovered the richness of Indian cuisine, from spicy street food to regional specialties. I met fellow foodies, shared stories, and made memories.

Taking that initial leap of faith opened doors to experiences I never thought possible. If you’re considering taking a chance, remember – growth happens outside your comfort zone. Take the leap, expand your palate and savor the flavors of life!
