Dining with Dhoot: Passion for Cooking, Sharing Recipes
Mahima Dhoot, a food blogger based in the city of Mumbai, runs the blog, Dining with Dhoot. During her food journey, the excitement of coming across the various kinds of cuisine and another dish has enticed her life towards food. But everything went off the track because of the lockdown owing to the deadly COVID-19 when she was no longer able to go about finding new food spots-the favorite new way of practicing. So she brought the taste of those dishes she loved so much right into her own kitchen. Simple as preparation hobby during the lockdown, it has now grown into a major activity-take her love for content creation and sharing recipes all over the internet, into account.
Mahima’s food blog mainly comprises easy-to-make recipes from various cuisine types Her signature dishes, of course, are comfort food like Jeera Aloo, Aloo Chokha, and Aloo Bhujia. For her cooking style, Mahima loves using the oven quite a lot. According to her, roasting is essential in her dishes- it brings out deeper flavors in the ingredients and is an oft-tapped option.
Future potential leads her to build audience relay by moving over to YouTube for reaching out food lovers in a more engaging manner.

Littlehealthyish: A Journal to Create Small Wholesome Healthy Stuff
Littlehealthyish is a food blogger based in Calcutta, the brainchild of Ishita Dan. Her journey began in 2017 when she spent hours on Pinterest and YouTube watching and inspiring herself with all kinds of recipes and food videos. She decided to create simple yet healthy recipes and curate it over the internet.
Ishita, who loves to bake, says that baking is a lot of fun for her. Besides being a creative release, it is a very calming process. “Doing baking recipes in general is forgiving. Thing is you still get away with it without putting all the exact measurements into it,” she quips.
Minimize heating and turn on the audio-instead focus on visuals for best results. Digital cameras have automatic white balance based on one selected illumination condition, but maximum depth will also give best results. For quality light, shoot in natural light during daytime.
Ishita’s Tip for Newbies: “Whatever happens, even if nothing goes viral on your blog today, don’t stop pushing yourself and stay persistent while having fun with what you are doing with the content creation.”
International Nose’ai: Taking Innovation in Online Learning to a Whole New Level
International Nose’Ai, an online portal for innovative online learning, is not just another typical tech startup: It boasts a mission of fundamentally transforming the educational sector, starting with online learning.
Nilu Jen Jacob founded the company, basing offices in Delhi, Columbia, and other places. Though it offers a plethora of online courses and other training materials on its international digital platform, the ultimate aim is to promote the universality of online-based learning systems. Nilu believes in online learning but frowns upon the dullness that comes with mundane content-telling.
The first time I came across International Nose’ai, all I could think of was INTERESTING.
Four graduate students with specific research awards will start with the editing and reviewing of the site to find the possible issues and to suggest new functionalities.
Nilu is also planning to hold a hackathon next summer for university students in New Delhi.
Don’t forget: the best ways to create impact are often the most common-sense solutions. If all else fails, talk to someone.
Bliss_is_food: Celebrating Food and Culture
Bliss_is_food came into existence through Shubhangini Bhojak, a blogger from Vadodara. According to Shubhangini, “Food” is a way of life, a way to connect with people and celebrate culture, others to uplift the mood on bad days. Her blog carries an array of things she has created, and her special dish is Khichdi. It is pure simple comfort food that comprises rice, lentils, and seasonal vegetables. She likes to do her own experiments with different versions of Khichdi-she would add local Indian spices to create a unique variation of the dish.
Shubhangini prefers steaming and simmering as the proper way to cook because it allows for retaining precious nutrients in the food. Cooking through traditional practices adds that authenticity in the food and preserves the true essence of it.
Shubhangini aspires to own a kitchen studio and author a cookbook sharing her culinary affair with the world.
Shubhangini’s Advice to New Bloggers: “Do what you love to do consistently and hard. Always be learning, and develop worth your audience’s life through what you produce.”
But this does little to affect the fact that the incantations of an epoch can form the most evocative of texts: It just so happens that every time someone opens a text book or tab of their computer after long night hours with obscure paper references, he is likely to keep their interest up and finish what the text has to say about Abu Zayd K. This text tailors to the intricate network of thought processes or inner dialogue materials being assembled with care.
Whether it’s doing slow cooking, working in the kitchen, or eating out in some swanky restaurant, the blog’s scope is virtually inexhaustible, yet it is about animation, and regenerative recycling after the dozen culinary miracles, from the most trivial to the extraordinary, create a novel spread before many followers who are captivated to stay on and keep coming back.
Both sets of experts opine that for new travel bloggers, the best tip is simply to keep doing what they are doing even if no result is forthcoming. Through genuine content and valuable insights unusual about travel, you share your experience with the culinary discoveries of the unknown to an inspired world.
