For as long as I can remember, art, music, food, and good company have always been a part of my life. Growing up, our home had an open door policy. Family and friends would be over for tea time most days of the week. There was always some sort of food, chai, a Kishore Kumar tape playing, adults at the dining table, kids playing all over the house and yard, and an overall feeling of comfort. It was home.
My family calls me Inni. It’s my childhood “dak nam” that has stuck with me to this day. We all have these cute nick names. Even my Ma and Baba. Ma’s dak name is Mon and Baba’s is Bool. So I decided to name this project of mine monbool as a reminder that my strong qualities came to me by their efforts. And in the areas I am not so strong, I know I have both of their unconditional support and an open door to come home for comfort anytime.


Glad to visit your site.
I got your information from Abe my school classmate for 5 years.
I have always been interested in learning cooking. I even thought of joining a culinary school some time.
I am originally from Kerala India and my daughter in law is from Kolkata. She is a Banerjee.
Thank you for visiting, Jacob! I would be happy to book a class for you. You can email me at indrani@monbool.com with your contact info so that we can talk about what kind of class will work for you.
