Swarnavo Datta is an illustrator and author based in Bengaluru, India. Born into a Bengali family that loved travelling and eating, he developed a passion for food in the 1990s, while religiously watching Sanjeev Kapoor’s Khana Khazana on TV with his mother.
His corporate stint as a learning and development (L&D) specialist gave him the opportunity to live in different parts of the country, where he met fellow food lovers who introduced him to regional cuisines.
When he isn’t travelling (usually to explore new places to eat), he can be found in the kitchen, trying out new recipes to feed his wife, friends and two adorable cats.
