​​How I Got Here...
Hi, I’m Rany, and I’d like to welcome you to KitchenBrigade.com — a “home cooking community” this space is close to my heart inspired by the people who first taught me what real food is. I fell in love with cooking early on. Side by side with my aunt and cousins, watching pots bubble away with love... learning how to make Tandoori chicken by memory from my grandmother, Biji... and my dad too he’d cook and season everything just right -without ever measuring a thing.
Looking back, I’d say food was never just food. The taste and comfort in every dish came from more than just ingredients — they came from knowledge, passion, and tradition. It was culture. It was connection. Our dinner table was always open to anyone who popped by. As my children were growing up, I found they too appreciated learning to cook. It became this shared rhythm between us. Those moments are some of my most precious memories.
Kitchen Brigade is my way of carrying that spirit forward and honoring that legacy- with nourishing recipes rooted in whole foods, good fats, and flavors that feed the body and nurture the soul. A lot of my cooking is influenced by my upbringing in England — a mix of British classics which I was taught at school and continued to self teach and Indian cooking through my family. “All of the meals I share on the blog come straight from my kitchen — some one-pot, super practical, and always full of flavor (with minimal cleanup, of course).”perfect for one-two people, but easy to scale for a crowd.
You'll also find food stories, tips, and inspiration on the blog because I feel there’s always more to food than what’s on the plate.
"Think of Kitchen Brigade as your neighborhood potluck on the internet."

“So, what’s cooking beyond that?”
​
I'm the creator of The Culinary Bible for home cooks and bakers who love keeping track of their recipes. With space for 100 recipes, a built-in index, and a cost sheet for each dish, it’s perfect for your home kitchen — or the Cottage Food Operation you’ve been dreaming about.”
I’m also the founder of Munchie Jacks®, a Cottage Food Operation that began in Santa -Cruz, CA in 2017 and continues in Oregon.
Munchie Jacks® are bite-sized organic oat cookies available in three bold and delicious flavors: Toffee, Jalapeño, and Coconut. Small but mighty, they’re a European style cookie, less about the sugar and more on the flavor while keeping things real and wholesome.

“I'm so glad you’re here!"
“Got something in mind — a collab, a question, or maybe a demo with some flavor? I’m game!” I’m all ears (and spatulas). Your thoughts mean a lot, and I’d love to hear from you.
