Paulami Bandyopadhyay
As someone with Bengali roots living in North America, I’ve found joy in blending the vibrant traditions of my heritage with the experiences of my everyday life. Balancing work, family, and the day-to-day hustle can be a lot, but food has always been my happy place. Whether I’m recreating cherished recipes, exploring new cuisines, or simply sharing meals with loved ones, I believe food has the power to bring people together. My love for traditions also inspires me to pass them on to my children, helping them stay connected to and celebrate their roots.
That belief is what inspired me to start Palate And Beyond! Here I celebrate traditional recipes, dive into global flavors, and share the heartwarming stories behind each dish. For me, food is so much more than just nourishment—it’s a way to connect across cultures, bridge generations, and keep traditions alive. I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me!
