The Chefs Intro:
From Boston: Hi I am Savitha. I’m a science graduate, longtime homemaker, and self-taught home gardener who has spent the past 20 years raising two wonderful kids in Boston. I’ve been perfecting my family’s traditional recipes and recreating the soulful comfort food right here in Boston. Past 5 years, I started my vegetable garden growing both Indian vegetables and plants native to Boston . I love re-creating traditional recipes with the harvested herbs and veggies. My recipes are heart on a plate—traditional flavors that taste like home, but with a modern twist, and kid-friendly spin that keeps life in the kitchen fresh and exciting.
From Madurai: Hi, I’m Vinitha, a passionate homemaker, IT graduate, and self-taught home baker raising two wonderful kids in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Cooking is my joy—I’m a total foodie who loves experimenting with cuisines from around the world, recreating those irresistible restaurant dishes and eye-catching Instagram finds right in my kitchen. From my grandma’s cherished classics to fresh twists on global flavours, I share simple, nutritious dishes that bring smiles to the table. Join me as I bake, cook, and savour life one recipe at a time!
The Story Behind Coriander Chefs
Food has a unique way of transporting us back in time. Though we, Savitha and Vinitha, live on opposite sides of the world, we remain deeply connected through our shared love for the kitchen.
Our grandmother’s cooking was—and always will be—the gold standard. We grew up on her flavors, and today, we keep her memory alive by recreating her signature dishes. With a few secret tips from our mother and aunts, we work to capture those exact aromas and tastes that defined our childhood. Now, we’ve joined hands to share these heritage recipes—along with many new ones—that have earned the ultimate seal of approval from our own kids.
Why “Coriander Chefs”?
In Indian cuisine, coriander is more than just a garnish; it is an integral soul of the dish. We chose this name because, much like the versatile coriander leaf, we aim to bring a fresh, vibrant finish to every meal. Whether it’s a time-honored classic or a modern trend, we provide the “twist” that makes a recipe truly special.
