About Samar Halarnkar
Samar Halarnkar has been a glutton since childhood, when his mother gave him marrow bones instead of cake on his birthday. He once ran a short-lived catering business that died because it seemed like too much work. So he took the easy way out and became a reporter. He cooks for his family, friends and anyone with courage. In his spare time, he’s the Editor-at-Large of the Hindustan Times.
