Babli Mukerji
The love of cooking took roots in Babli Mukerji's heart at an early age, but the gradual development from a young and enthusistic cook into a passionate foodie was not without obstacles and roadblocks. Born in an era where ladies from genteel families only planned, organized and supervised meals, but did not actually make forays into the kitchen, Mukerji's hands-on culinary efforts did not always meet with approval.
