A bit more about Neha Mathur

Thanks for stopping by Whisk Affair, a blog that I’ve grown with lots of love since 2012; and wanting to know more about me. I’m an Indian, highly aspirational and focussed on perfection. I love cooking, an art which I’ve learnt over last many years.

I was born to doctor parents in a small town called Banda in UP, India. Both my parents were serving as doctors for the State Government. I’m the eldest of three sisters (my younger sisters being Twins :-)). Right from my childhood, I was fond of food and learnt nuances of cooking from my mom and dad.

I studied to be a dental surgeon; and finished my degree in 2004.

While I initially started off my practice, I left it very soon to follow my passion into food. After getting married I lived in multiple countries including Malaysia, Czech Republic, USA and travelled extensively. Throughout these travels I got to experience different cuisines and learnt a lot about local foods in different parts of the world.

The blog started with me documenting a number of recipes I started to make. Every time it turned out perfect, I would write it down so I could make it again. I also shared my experiences with my friends and family.

My Son, Bhavye

I’ve one handsome son, Bhavye. He loves to play his piano and is inclined a lot towards innovation and sciences. He loves to keep going on with his projects and school work and recently published a 2D graphic library for Python called GoopyLib.

If you are interested look at some of Bhavye’s projects here.

He loves to try a number of international recipes and pushes me to keep cooking more!

The Birth of Whisk Affair

After a lot of experiments, Whisk Affair took a much formal shape in 2012. I was happy that I could turn my passion into a profession. There have been number of learnings along with the way and I’ve loved every day of it.

Bringing out the taste and appeal in your cooking is all about having tried and tested recipes up your sleeve. I’ve has nurtured Whisk Affair since 2012 with a vision to help people experience food.

Right from childhood, I picked up on nuances of cooking from my mom and dad, my lunch boxes in school were the most sought after. In search for my love for the food, I decided to give up my career in dentistry and get into recipes. I have loved every moment of the journey so far. I love my cooking appliances, tools, camera, cherish being a food enthusiast and love to share my experiments & innovations with the dishes with my readers.
