About Food

This section is weighted toward India, and that shapes what it is good for.

The strongest material is comparative brand guides for things people buy regularly rather than cook – green tea, chocolate, energy drinks – where the honest answer involves naming which are worth the price. Alongside that sits regional food writing, such as the sweets of Odisha, which get far less attention in English than they deserve.

The cooking here is deliberately low-effort: desserts that need no oven, drinks for hot weather, and straightforward substitutions to make a familiar meal better for you. There is also a small run of food explainers, including the actual difference between sushi and sashimi.

What it is not is a recipe database or restaurant criticism. For nutrition as health rather than cooking, see Health.
