About Us

Rooted in Tradition. Crafted with Love.

Some recipes don't belong in cookbooks—they belong in families.

They are whispered from one generation to the next, prepared with patience, perfected over countless meals and remembered long after the plate is empty.

Hi, I'm Archana Shinde, my story is a blend of cultures, flavours and memories.

My roots lie in the rich culinary traditions of Karnataka and Maharashtra, while I was born and raised in Delhi, a city that introduced me to the incredible diversity of Indian food. Growing up, I was fortunate to experience recipes that travelled across generations—made by my father, mother, grandmothers of both sides and aunts who never measured ingredients, but always cooked with love.

Over the years, I realised that many of these authentic regional recipes are slowly disappearing from our everyday kitchens, replaced by mass-produced alternatives that often sacrifice tradition for convenience.

That's when Swaad & Spice was born.

Our recipes honour tradition, our vision is simple—to help people rediscover authentic Indian flavours that are becoming increasingly rare.

We're not here to manufacture food. We're here to preserve heritage.

Because good food should not taste industrial. It should taste like home.
