Chitra

I am glad you found us. Join me and my family as we find beauty in our everyday life : living in the country side in Switzerland, where we explore Permaculture gardening, create recipes from scratch and living a simple and sustainable life.

I am an independent researcher, health freak and a passionate home maker. I quit a corporate job from a Swiss Bank about 2 decades back before I fell pregnant with my daughter.

Cooking and my passion for food from scratch

Fiber benefits in your breads from grinding your own flour

Cooking and my passion for making food from scratch was something I learnt from my mother and grand mother since birth. 

I bake all our breads, cakes, pizzas all from scratch using home ground grains. We cook a variety of dishes and adapt to our vegetarian life style. I love to experiment with dishes from different cultures and countries.

With a thriving garden we preserve our fresh produce during the season to last throughout the winter until Spring. I have learnt the art of food preservation, canning and fermenting over the years. I started this blog about 4 years back to share my knowledge with the world.

You can see some of the foods I cook from scratch in this link:

I never quit learning and studying, so I continued learning a lot about natural treatments for common ailments, I research natural remedies, and I have collected a lot of hand me down Ayurveda remedies from my family. I practice yoga regularly and try to meditate regularly.

I can speak about 7 languages fluently, but consider English to be my first language.

At home we speak English, German and Swiss-German.

Follow along for our favorite homemade vegetarian and vegan food recipes, natural living tips, DIY projects and gardening tips and adventures. I try to share new videos every week on our Youtube Channel. These platforms gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge and to document all our projects.
