HELLO

It's Nice to meet you

My name is Priyanka Govender-Chanderdeo.

As I embark on a culinary adventure, I can’t help but reflect on the profound influence that food holds in my life.

For me, the love of food and cooking runs deep –it’s a cherished inheritance that has been passed down through generations.

I vividly recall observing my mother’s unwavering passion in the kitchen. 

She would immerse herself in the Food Network Channel, igniting a spark within me that would forever shape my culinary path.

You might wonder, what could a nine-year-old possibly know about cooking? 

Fortunately, my mother recognized my eagerness and allowed me to explore the realm of flavours right alongside her.

My culinary journey began with a humble dish of two-minute noodles—a simple yet significant milestone.

With time, I delved into the captivating world of stir-fries and grills, experimenting and honing my skills.

I must also pay tribute to my grandparents, who played a monumental role in shaping my culinary experiences. Living under the same roof, I was exposed to a treasure trove of their traditional dishes, creating a rich tapestry of flavours that would leave an indelible mark on my palate.

Through my blog, Inspired By Pri’s Food, I aim to share my culinary expertise, taking you on a delectable journey through enticing recipes, valuable cooking tips, and heartfelt stories.

About Inspired By Pri's Food

You will experience the nostalgic flavours of my childhood as I embark on a culinary journey.

Growing up, I often watched tantalizing dishes on TV, and now, as I travel, those familiar foods have become my inspiration.

However, it was after getting married that my true passion for recreating the dishes from our upbringing truly blossomed. Although it wasn’t an easy task, relying solely on my taste buds to recreate those beloved flavours, I persevered in my quest to perfect these recipes.

In late 2021, while residing in Cape Town, I decided to share my culinary adventures and cherished recipes through social media. To my surprise, many people found my recipes incredibly valuable.

That’s why I’ve created this blog, a tribute to my childhood, the perfected recipes, and a glimpse into my travel experiences.

It’s dedicated to all those who have influenced my passion and inspired my journey.

I invite you to explore and savour the recipes I share, hoping you will find immense value and enjoyment in each bite.
