Hi, I’m Soumyadip Chatterjee, the face behind AsianPlated.com.
Food has always been more than just fuel for me — it’s been a connection to culture, a form of expression, and honestly, my favorite way to explore the world without ever leaving the kitchen.
I grew up in India, where meals weren’t just about eating — they were an experience. Whether it was watching my mother stir spicy curries in a bubbling pot or sitting around the table sharing stories over bowls of noodles, I learned early on that food brings people together in the most powerful ways.
But it wasn’t until I started cooking for myself — experimenting with flavors from Japan, Korea, Thailand, and beyond — that I realized just how deep and diverse Asian cuisine really is. Each dish told a story. Each spice carried tradition. And the more I cooked, the more I felt the urge to document it.
That’s how AsianPlated was born — a place where I share my love for all things Asian food. From comforting Chinese stir-fries to vibrant Filipino feasts, I wanted to build a space where anyone — whether you’re a seasoned cook or a curious beginner — could explore these flavors and make them your own.
Welcome to AsianPlated. Let’s cook something amazing together.
