About Me
Hi! I'm Ruchika, Welcome to Homemade is Happinezz. Glad to have you here!
I like to create and share vegan and lacto-vegetarian (egg-free and meatless) recipes from around the globe that are mostly healthy, oftentimes decadent and sometimes prepared with cheese or butter mixed in (because why not??), but more importantly, delicious.
I don't claim to be a 'Chef', nor have I had a real training to be one, I simply admire food and feeding people brings me so much happinezz. I strongly believe that, the food prepared with love and a cheerful heart provides food for the soul and it brings people together.
Software Engineer by profession and gastronomy enthusiast by choice. Food is an integral part of my life since the beginning. I'm blessed to grow up in a home filled with real delicious food. Both my parents cooked food, but neither of them forced me to cook while I was growing up.
I was bitten by the cooking bug in 2015, when I moved out from my parents’ home to a new city for my very first job. Soon I realized the worth of homemade food and started cooking with my mom virtually (She used to be on call and assist me as I cook, Thank you Maa). Most of the inspiration and recipes on this site comes from my Maa.
I got married to my childhood love in 2017 and relocated to USA. After arriving here, I started experimenting something new every day in my Kitchen. I am grateful to god for giving me a foodie husband who always appreciates my culinary skills.
I read somewhere that knowledge or skills are worthless unless they are shared and so this is just my little way of sharing what I'm learning with you all. I hope you enjoy these recipes and that the practice of eating homemade food. It’s truly an honor each time any one of you makes one of my recipes, and I love hearing from you!
Now, let’s go have some fun in the kitchen (the place, where happinezz begins)!
