Hi, I’m Pritha, the cook, writer, photographer and recipe developer behind this blog. And as un-glamorous as it may sound, also the cleaner, prop-washer and trash-disposer after cooking and shooting are wrapped up!
Food and travel make my world go round, and Guilt Free is a space where food, travel, and adventure collide. I’ve always had a passion for discovering new cultures through their cuisine, and I believe that food is one of the most powerful ways to understand a place.
When I’m not savoring local dishes or planning my next travel adventure, you can find me experimenting in the kitchen, reminiscing about past travels, or writing about the places and people who’ve left a mark on me.
A few random facts in case you want to know me better!
- I was born and bred in Calcutta, India. In between I called New Delhi and Bangalore home for sometime. As of now, I find myself in Seattle, Washington, and am constantly enamored by its lush green bounty and incredible food scene.
- I can’t imagine a life without copious amounts of travel thrown in. I maintain excel sheets with detailed itineraries of trips I don’t even know when I’ll take. And yes, I prefer the old fashioned way of going out on 2-week vacations than quick weekend getaways.
- I love to walk. I really, really, really do. Whenever the sun is out (which is indeed a rarity in Seattle), you’ll find me on a walking trail, a park, or even ambling around on random streets. I love to discover new places on foot.
- My favorite part of food blogging is grocery shopping and prop shopping. I often get lost in the aisles of supermarkets and feel like a kid in a candy store in fresh farmers’ markets. It helps that the world famous Pike Place Market is just a 40-minute bus ride away.
- I’m petrified of dogs. Yeah, I know it’s not a thing to be proud of. I love them in books and movies, but in real life they scare me too much.
