Molly Kumar shares light and healthy versions of Indian and family-favorite recipes from all over the world on her food blog, Easy Cooking with Molly.
Molly Kumar has been at home in the kitchen since she was three years old, toddling after her mother to touch all the utensils and taste all the spices she could get her hands on. She baked her first cake at five, which was when she fell in love with cooking and baking.
Molly says, “Even on the days when I’m most stressed, making a simple dish puts me in a zen state of mind.”
Raised in New Delhi, Molly and her husband now live in California, where they moved after getting married.
Today, Molly blogs about recipes inspired by her travels around the world. She strives to make delicious, everyday meals that are easy to prepare, a feast for the eyes, and easy on the budget.
