Simran Makkar is a writer who lives in the overlap between two obsessions: books and bold flavour. When she's not buried in a novel, she's in the kitchen dreaming up her next fusion recipe, the kind that makes you ask, "Wait, can you actually put that together?" (You can. She'll show you how.) She reads compulsively, cooks instinctively, and firmly believes no good day is complete without a proper meal and a cold margarita on the side.
