About me

Neither an expert, nor a chef, I am an apprentice like yourself and definitely passionate about the art of cooking and the little moments of happiness it provides me with.

Originally Indian, Muslim, born in Madagascar, raised in a french environment and having received my education in the American/Canadian world, I often proudly flaunt that I am, like many others, a melting pot of cultures. When all those cultures come together, you certainly understand that it creates delicious recipes, full of flavors and colors. :)

I am passionate about cooking and baking since my childhood. I get better with time and the passion grows with every dish. This passion, I owe it to three women with “fairy fingers” as we say in French : My motri nani (meaning my maternal great grandmother in gujraati), my Nani (maternal grandmother) and my Mithi maa (my mother).

As far as Snmade, it first began with #selfmade on Instagram… which then became #snmade. And the Facebook page as well as the blog itself, they began during my new student life. I always told myself “There is no way I’ll be eating pasta and McDo’s all the time!”, and so I started making and sharing my recipes to fight against the cliché that students can’t cook, eat fast food only, and also the one about cooking being too hard.

I hope to inspire you to bring out the chef in you and make your meals at home. If you try the recipes, let me know, send me pictures, I always love seeing those! & follow me on Instagram for more. Enjoy your visit in my world :)

With love,
Shahana N.
