Introducing ‘Foodie Wala’, the taste operator that lets you explore, experience and relish the long forgotten dishes, the long treasured recipes and the hard to forget gastronomic fare of a true ‘Dilli Wala’. Namaste, I’m Priti Sood Sayeed, and I’m the ‘Foodie Wala’. While we all know what Foodie means, ‘Wala’ is a person in Hindi. Put together ‘Foodie Wala’ is a person who appreciates every aspec
t of food. Born in a Hindu family and married to a Muslim, in many ways I got to experience the best of both the worlds especially when it came to food. So while I grasped the role of each spice in my mother’s vegetarian kitchen, it was at my in-laws that I understood the magic of blending these spices with different meats to create mouth-watering experiences. It also helped that my paternal family resided in Old Delhi and my maternal in Connaught Place, the two hot beds literally of everything associated with gourmet fare in the Capital City. What’s more, my first cousin has just released (may I add to raving reviews) ‘The Sood Cookbook’ an encyclopedia of recipes that I grew up on and now want to share with the world through a unique concept called the ‘Foodie Wala’.
