About Me

“Madness Rules” – This is exactly what drives me in and out! Yes, I’m a hardcore food lover who loves to create “Magic” in my kitchen.  South Indian by Origin, IT Professional by Career, Mum of Twins by blessings & a Blogger by Passion.

The aromas, the herbs, the spices & the colors took my imagination & experimentation to new levels in the world of vegetarian food. “dashofsalt.in” has tantalizing vegetarian recipes from various cuisines.

“Right ingredient & a right method is always essential to prepare a perfect recipe !”

Hey there! My name is Divya Rao. My love for cooking started alongside with my granny & my mum who used to make lip-smacking dishes for us. Those unforgettable bites are so fresh in my mind. My granny taught me how to experiment with spices, legumes, pulses & veggies to make a perfect recipe. And my mom taught me how to make tasty & easy to cook recipes. My mum was a working woman & for her time element really played big role. May be that is why, simple/easy recipes came into limelight!

With time, my love for cooking kept on growing and that’s how my journey into culinary space started…!

I authored my first book “LunchBox – FunBox” for the working parents. This book brings enticing, simple, easy to cook recipes which can turn kids’ lunchbox into funbox!!

My next book project is coming soon……..!
