Hi, I’m Ritu

Welcome to My Spice Trail!

I’m so happy you’re here! My Spice Trail is a vegetarian and vegan food blog, born from a deep, lifelong passion for cooking and discovering new flavors. Here you will find all kinds of cool, delicious recipes, from vibrant appetizers to tempting desserts and everything in between. My goal is to help you “spice up your life” with accessible, plant-based meals that are fun to make.

While I am an IT professional by day, my heart truly lies in the kitchen. I am not an expert chef, but surely someone in love with cooking. I’ve spent my life learning about food from my family, friends, cookbooks, and just simply by experimenting. It is so amazing to find out what all we can do with ingredients as we discover new tastes every day.

I love making sure that the food I make looks and tastes fantastic. Once my family loves something I create, I am excited to share it here, sometimes with an easy-to-follow video.

Meet the Photographer: My Daughter, Aanchal

I believe that food photography is an essential part of the journey. That’s why I am incredibly proud to introduce my daughter, Aanchal, as the official Food Photographer and Stylist for My Spice Trail.

Aanchal shares my love for food but also has a talented, trained eye for capturing its beauty. Together, we work to ensure that every recipe is presented invitingly, with stunning visuals that reflect its flavor and texture. Her dedication to artistic photography helps make this blog a visual treat!

I know you will find My Spice Trail inviting, full of deliciously addictive recipes, and breathtaking photography. Try these recipes yourself and let me know how they come out for you—I’d love to hear your story!
