There’s a kind of comfort that only comes from a soup simmering quietly on the stove, a soft bubbling, a little steam drifting up, and the kind of aroma that makes the whole kitchen feel calmer.

Hi, I’m Mahek Manchanda the curious heart behind Dramatically Stirring.

I’ve always been most at ease in my own company. I’m not exactly a people-person (small talk still makes me cringe), but there are two things I’ve always loved with my whole heart: animals and food.
