Anjuli's  Story

I've always enjoyed cooking for people. It's the way I show love. It started back when I was just a small child, visiting my dad's family in West Bengal India. My Thakurma (grandma) and her sisters would prepare beautiful, elaborate lunches for the family daily. Watching the 3 sisters cook these extravagant meals stuck with me and showed me the importance of family and food. My dad was taught, he passes his knowledge to me and now it's my turn to share.


Placing greater importance on my health, I began changing the foods I eat. Years ago I started studying nutrients in relation to the human body, and the foods they come from, and I never looked back...and never have I felt better. My love for organic foods & cooking them is only second to my love for family.

This loan is special because:

This loan is special because it will help this entrepreneur upgrade equipment and expand their business.
