About Me:
Meet Priya Patel
I'm Priya, and I'm on a mission to end boring vegetables. Growing up in a household where spices were a way of life, I learned early on that a side dish can (and should!) be just as exciting as the main course. I balance a busy professional life with my love for cooking, which means I need recipes that deliver maximum flavor with minimum fuss.
My Culinary Philosophy
Flavor First: A little garlic, lemon zest, or chili flake goes a long way. I don't do bland.
Eat Your Colors: I believe a colorful plate is a healthy plate. My recipes focus on fresh, seasonal produce.
Vegetarian Friendly: Whether you eat meat or not, my sides are designed to work for everyone at the table.
My Background & Expertise
My cooking style is a blend of my heritage and my busy American life. I love taking classic American sides—like mashed potatoes or roasted carrots—and giving them a little "twist" to make them sing. I'm the person who brings the salad to the potluck that actually gets eaten. At Gist Recipe, I'm here to help you round out your meals with sides that are easy enough for Tuesday but impressive enough for Thanksgiving.
