Foodie Stories

This story started as a way to breathe when the heaviness of expectations became too much. I didn't plan to write a book - I just needed to let something out. But once I started, I couldn't stop. Born an Introvert, Forced to Be an Influencer is loosely based on my life as a food content creator in a small country somewhere in South East Asia- the pressure, the loneliness, the strange mix of visibility and invisibility that comes with it. It's fiction (some parts) but the feelings are real. If you've ever felt like you're performing more than living, this one's for you.

To be in the moment with the people he loves. That's what Djimmy wanted to do all summer. But what he encounters is more exciting than what he expected. And what was stolen is more precious than all the toys and treats that was taken from him in his kindered years. 'I remember it was after school on a Friday afternoon when we'd rush to our flats and get changed. Then at two thirty p.m. everybody's at my cousin's flat waiting for the show on Crazy World Live to start. It's a good vibe, being close to the people you love. My heart keeps vibrating as I ruminate on the topic. Part of me wishes that this moment will never end.' > Dec 2022

The young woman's first year at her culinary institute unfolds as a resounding success. Surrounded by close friends, her days are filled with unforgettable adventures and shared memories. However, this ideal world shatters when Summer and her brother, Nathanael, discover that their father has mysteriously vanished during a business trip.

📖 STORY DESCRIPTION She writes love stories under pen names, hides behind words, and guards her privacy like a shield. A 27-year-old bold Punjabi writer, loud in laughter, sharp in anger, and fearless in life - she never believed marriage was meant for her. Not until family pressure, a fragile father's health, and a little Punjabi drama pushed her into a wedding she never wanted. He is 29, rich, successful, and emotionally distant. Indian by blood, American by life. A businessman who doesn't believe in love, barely speaks Hindi, and agreed to marriage only to keep his uncle and aunty happy. Two strangers. One forced marriage. On their wedding night, when he coldly says, "I don't consider you my wife." She shocks him with a laugh and replies, "Relax. Whether you accept me or not, I don't care. Now help me take off this lehenga - I'm exhausted." No tears. No expectations. No love. What starts as a compromise slowly turns into companionship, laughter, arguments, and moments neither of them planned. As her loud Punjabi soul crashes into his silent American world, he begins to see the strength behind her jokes - and she starts to see the broken boy behind his calm eyes. But what happens when he discovers that the woman he married unwillingly... is the writer whose stories he secretly admires? A story of forced vows, slow love, healing hearts, and a bold Punjabi woman who never begged for love - but earned it effortlessly. ✨ Enemies to lovers ✨ Forced marriage ✨ Strong female lead ✨ NRI × Punjabi girl

A grumpy cold-case investigator. A sunshine baker with a lethal dessert recipe. And a twenty-year-old art heist hiding right beneath the flour bins. ​Maya Patel takes immense pride in her bakery, Sugar & Spice. Her cream cheese frosting is legendary, her lemon tarts are perfection, and her only real enemy is the occasional picky customer. That is, until Detective Noah Vance storms into her shop holding a half-eaten red velvet cupcake laced with digitalis. ​Noah-the town's perpetually exhausted, rumpled private investigator-believes the poisoned pastry was a targeted hit meant to stop his obsession with the infamous 2004 Miller Art Heist.

As they dodge danger and navigate a maze of small-town lies, their bickering turns into undeniable heat. ​Can this unlikely pair crack a decades-old cold case before someone decides to permanently close the bakery?

You and I, let's embark on the vegan adventure together. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Being raised in an Asian American family has made it incredibly difficult for me to adopt a vegan lifestyle because so much of Asian food revolves around meat. Being vegetarian is generally looked down upon because it is seen as poor; eating all veggies reminded elders of leaner times when they couldn't afford meat. Now that times are better, having a table full of meat was a status symbol, a reminder of better times. As such, I wasn't really exposed to hearty, delicious vegetarian dishes while I was growing up-- the only vegetarian dishes I've ever eaten were seen as supplemental and for health only. But I'm determined to change that. Oasis is a book centered around Asian fusion inspired vegan entrees as well as other foods around the world. This book is a journal for me, a catalog of my own creations and a reminder of how far I've come. Hope you enjoy it!
