Shirin Mehrotra

Hi! I am Shirin, an independent journalist, researcher, food anthropologist and curator.

I am curious about food and how it intersects with communities, culture, migration and identity. I like to delve deep into the socio-cultural and socio-economic side of food and fint it challenging to write about often overlooked aspects of food including gender and caste.

I am currently based in Delhi but cover food and culture stories from across India. Apart from food I also write about travel and books, both under the larger ambit of food.

I am open to comissioned writing and collaborative work.
