Welcome to Simply Bhonu. I’m Peri, a chef and entrepreneur with Parsi Zoroastrian roots from Mumbai, India. I have a lifelong passion for food and hospitality. Driven by a deep love for my culinary heritage, I aim to make Indian and Parsi cuisine more accessible to the Western world by seamlessly blending time-honored traditions with modern innovation. Read What Makes Parsi Food Truly Unique?

My journey began with India's iconic Taj Hotels, where I managed state visits for dignitaries and international celebrities such as Bill Clinton, Stephen Hawking, Margaret Thatcher, and Elton John. Having promoted Indian food in China and founded food businesses in California's Silicon Valley, I enjoy bringing authentic flavors and experiences to a global audience.

I share my love for Indian and Parsi cooking through my food blog, Peri's Spice Ladle, offering tried-and-true tips, techniques, and recipes to food enthusiasts around the world.

My e-cookbooks, Spice Up Your Celebration: Indian-Inspired Recipes for Your Occasions, Holidays & Entertaining, and Tikka Tikki & Spicy Bites: Global Twists on Indian Kebabs, Tikka, Chutneys, and More, are available on Amazon.
