Hello! Welcome to An Immigrant’s Taste. Here you shall find home cooked Vegetarian deliciousness prepared with love. My Name is Upasana Sampat. I am currently based in Ottawa, Canada.
I was raised in a multicultural family in Mumbai and was introduced to flavors from all around India at an early age. My mother is an excellent cook who is responsible for teaching me the fundamentals of cooking. But most importantly she taught me that the most vital ingredient in any recipe that makes it tasty is love, and that is something I strongly believe in.
My personal journey with cooking began when I first moved to The United States in 2016. I was fascinated by the variety of new dishes to which I was introduced; and discovered my love of recreating them at home with a touch of my own flavors. The more I traveled, and experimented different food, the more was I driven to learn about them and recreate them in my own kitchen.
Overtime, I have realized that anybody can cook, if you put your heart in it. Home cooking for me is all about cooking in comfort with the things you like, ingredients you find handy, playing around with spices to suit your taste buds and lastly, and most importantly, with lots of love.
Please join me in my journey of learning, cooking, and sharing our love for good food! Thank you!
