Let's face it. We all need someone who would tell us EXACTLY what celebrities, influencers, tastemakers, founders, movers and shakers have in their little black book. So, we became that person, and we’re shining the spotlight on Sonal Ved, an author, journalist, and digital editor. If you've been following Sonal's journey then you'd know about her on-point puns, food-related memes, her writings on publications such as Food52 and The Guardian, and of course her cookbook journeys — she has two food books that have made it to the New York Times — Tiffin and Whose Samosa is it Anyway? Whether you are a foodie or just love everything related to food and more, Sonal is your person. We went one step further than Instagram stalking and got her to tell us some of her favourite things, from an urali to healthy Nutella. Read on...
A Few Of Sonal Ved’s Favourite Things
Sauces From Boombay
In Sonal's list of preservative-free sauce brands in India, Boombay's salad dressings and sauces feature. We spotted sauces such as Schezwan, and Chilli + Caramel and they use no refined oils, refined sugar, or preservatives.
Honey From Madhudhara
Madhudhara's pure natural raw honey is must-have and comes in various flavours.
Uralis From Green Heirloom
We love Green Heirloom and so does Sonal! And she loves their uralis, and so do we! We should probably have a urali full of samosas together!
Chattai From Nor Black Nor White
Sonal's picking this chattai and we're just hoping we get invited to a picnic brunch with her!
Ring From The Olio Stories
This handmade box ring with a 'sukoon' (meaning Peace in Urdu) engraving is pretty!
Sneakers From Reebok
Sonal get's her streetwear game on point with these brilliant pink The Jetsons x Reebok sneakers!
Scented Candle From Rad Living
Do you know the truth about vegan diary? If you don't, we recommend checking Sonal's Vogue article. And this cucumber lemonade-scented candle that's also her favourite.
The Bear TV Series
Sonal's currently binging this. And we have this on our watch list. It's about a young chef who's come back to manage his family's sandwich shop.
