Nithya has always been passionate about cooking and that’s one of the reasons she started her YouTube channel Dr Nithya’s Kitchen. “Cooking is a big stress buster for me. Not only do I try new recipes, I also enjoy reading about food and cooking. I think if you dig deep into the food of a particular region, you get to know the history, culture and geography. Reading different kitchens and preparing dishes will give you a comprehensive understanding of our food culture. My family and friends have always told me that I cook well. They also encouraged me to start the channel, ”she adds.

In the videos, I also talk about recipes for adults and children. When I share recipes, I also give an introduction to the history of food, why it is nutritious and how to prepare it. I also talk about food trends because a lot of parents blindly follow what they read on the internet, ”she sums up.
