"One of my favourite things to do with my children is cook together. It’s never just about the meal; it’s about teaching them the importance of food in our culture. When we prepare biryani or pithas (traditional Bengali sweets), it’s not just about following a recipe – it’s about talking through the significance of each dish, sharing the stories behind them, and passing down those recipes to the next generation. "  

"At home, we speak Bengali, and we’ve always encouraged our children to speak it too, even when they respond to me in English. At first, they’d resist, especially when they were young, but over time, I could see them start to feel a sense of pride in being able to speak two languages. It’s not just a skill; it’s a bridge to their heritage. "  

Food, language, and a little Bollywood magic – these are the secret ingredients to keeping our cultural traditions alive! Join my family's hilarious and heartwarming attempts to pass on our heritage.
