Home Cooking with Purpose.

Savor was founded by two lifelong home cooks, Namrata and Riku, who share a deep passion for both traditional and global cuisine—and a growing commitment to a more sustainable way of living. Their culinary journey began in their family kitchens, where they learned time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

With over 50 years of combined experience, they’ve spent countless hours experimenting with classic recipes, adding their own creative twists, and crafting rich, comforting meals using simple, everyday ingredients. Their classes are rooted in Indian culinary traditions while also exploring global and fusion recipes that celebrate the diversity of plant-forward, vegetarian cooking.

For Namrata and Riku, cooking has always been a way to connect, share, and unwind. Through Savor, they bring that same warmth to others—offering approachable, flavorful meals that not only nourish the body, but also support the planet. Their mission is to help more people discover how joyful, delicious, and impactful plant-forward cooking can be.

I am looking forward to attending their other classes."
