Last weekend, I had the joy of being hosted by Chef Sohini Banerjee for a supper club lunch, and it felt so much like home. I grew up in a Maharashtrian-Bengali household in Mumbai, India, where my mum has always added a personal twist to the Bengali food she learnt from my Thamma. Sitting at Sohini’s table, I couldn’t help but feel that same energy. The food was Bengali, but uniquely hers.
